'ITH pleasure we present this volume dealing with
'the resources, various industries and institutions and
many points of interest in Arizona, the youngest State
in the Union. This hook also commemorates the ac-
tivities and achievements of those Arizonans who have
contributed to the development and are now furthering the growth
and progress of this great commonwealth. Owing to the book
being larger and more complete than was originally intended, pub-
lication has been delayed, but we feel that the delay is justified in
the improvement which has resulted. Even so, the book is not en-
tirely satisfactory, and in a short time a revised edition will follow.
There arc a number of citizens whose contributions to the upbuilding
of Arizona are such that their omission from the volume leaves it
incomplete. They will be given space in the new edition. We be-
lieve this second attempt will surpass any previous publication deal-
ing with Arizona, both in scope and method of treatment. Like the
present volume the next edition will be strictly a home production
issued from the job department of the Arizona Daily Star at Tucson.
We desire to extend thanks to those who have made this book a suc-
cess, by extending their financial support, suggestions and encourage-
ment.

IN ARIZONA
ARIZONA
Although the youngest state, Arizona is one of the largest and is
u'ithout doubt the richest in natural resources. Her history is most
interesting, and exemplifies the saying "Truth is stranger than fiction."
The story of the settlement of the territory, the gaining of statehood,
and the development of the marvelous industries and the many points
of interest are here briefly outlined.
IT WAS during the trying times of the Civil War, in 1863, that
President Lincoln approved the act establishing the Territory of
Arizona, and what had previously been the County of Arizona was
then formally separated from New Mexico. At the time of the or-
ganization of the Territory of Arizona the white population was
20,000. Provision had been made for changing the boundaries, and
by adding certain portions of it to Nevada in 1866 the Arizona of
today was outlined. John A. Gurley of Ohio was first appointed
governor, but as he died before assuming the office, John N. Goodwin
of Maine, who was appointed to take his place, was the first acting
Governor. Governor Goodwin, in company with a detachment of
cavalry, traveled westward from Santa Fe, and at Navajo Springs
hoisted the American flag and read President Lincoln's Proclamation
of Establishment. Another short stop having been made at what is
now Del Rio railway station, they then passed on to the new military
post at Whipple Barracks, and thence to Prescott, where in the winter
of 1864-1865 the first legislative session of Arizona was held in a log
hut especially erected, the first meeting having occurred October 4,
1864. In 1867 the capitol was removed to Tucson, then the most
important settlement in the Southwest, but after ten years was re-
turned to Prescott, where it remained until 1889, when the first Act
of the Legislature was to remove the capitol and the pending session
to Phoenix. There, prior to 1901, the year which saw the comple-
tion of the new capitol building, the sessions were held in the City
Hall. At the first session of the Legislature the Territory was di-
vided into four counties, Pima, Yuma, Mohave and Yavapai, named
for the friendly tribes of Indians. Maricopa, the fifth county, was
organized in 1871 out of Yavapai, while Greenlee, the fourteenth
and last organized, was formed from Graham.
The history of Arizona is replete with wonderful achievement and
no State or Territory has made greater progress or become better
W H S \V H O
known during the past two decades. General attention has been
more intensely directed toward it since its admission to the Union;
hut its own abundant natural resources it is which holds the atten-
tion of the world, no matter what may have attracted it thither. And
now, after years of struggle amidst the most discouraging circum-
stances, Arizonans are in possession of a State showing illimitable
promise for the future; a State that is really a wonderland and only
in its infancy. In extent, about 350 miles from New Mexico to
California, and about the same from Old Mexico to Utah, and having
an area of 113,000 square miles, Arizona ranks sixth in size among
the states of the Union, and equals in area England, Scotland and
Ireland combined.
Arizona has a diversity of altitudes, and, therefore, furnishes a
variety of climates. The elevations range from almost sea level at
Yuma to 13,000 feet upon the San Francisco mountains, and by
making suitable changes in altitude to fit the season it is possible to
enjoy perpetual spring. While there is, perhaps, no place that can
boast of a really perfect climate, the section which, like Arizona, can
show the fewest and mildest extremes approaches nearest to the ideal.
And this State, being exceptionally favored in its climatic conditions,
is beneficial to the majority of chronic diseases.
As a mineral producing State Arizona ranks first in the Union, and
its mining resources as a whole have been the means of attracting
vast amounts of capital for development purposes. In its other im-
portant industries, agriculture, horticulture, stock raising and dairy-
ing, its advantages are unsurpassed, yet despite its marvelous re-
sources, Arizona ranks forty-sixth in point of population in the Union,
having had, according to the census of 1910, about 205,000 inhab-
itants, the number being now estimated at close to 250,000. Though
it is a land of bright sunshine and bright prospects, and one of the
fastest growing communities in the United States, its great need is
people who can and will do things. And it is attracting them men
of every class of life the capitalist, the high salaried man and the
laborer. It had not been decreed that Arizona submit to the domi-
nation of one industry, but endowed by nature with manifold riches
in mineral form and agricultural possibilities that are rarely excelled,
the field is ample for capital and labor, and the demand for workers
in every occupation is great. She has, therefore, much to offer to the
newcomer.
In the production of copper Arizona leads the world, and no other
copper field has shown such heavy increase in production during the
past decade, or has brighter prospects for the future in the develop-
ment of the illimitable copper deposits not yet touched. So in this
field alone there is the constant inducement to men of ability and
means, men who can afford to increase the great producing power
of the State by the further development of this great resource, whose
IN ARIZONA

coming of itself necessitates an increased demand for the salaried offi-
cial and the laboring man. Mining as an industry began more than
fifty years ago. At a number of points throughout the State, how-
ever, there are evidences of rude operations in mining by prehistoric
people, although no traces of smelting have been found, and had
the copper ores been reduced in those days the slags and possible rem-
nants of the furnaces could scarcely have escaped attention. The
first copper smelter in the State, built of adobe bricks, is said to have
been located at the Ajo mines in Yuma County, and to have been
operated about 1852. In the early days of the industry silver was
first mined and gold was found in paying quantities in many districts,
but of late years attention has been directed mainly to copper mining.
Much of the copper mined today has a paying percentage of gold and
silver. There are certain of the great copper mines of Ari-
zona with which nearly every one is familiar through frequent ref-
erences to them in the newspapers of the United States, as well as in
the financial and mining journals, whose owTiers reap almost fabu-
lous rewards. Notable among these are the Copper Queen, Shattuck-
Arizona and the Calumet & Arizona mines at Bisbee ; the Old Domin-
ion, Inspiration and Miami mines in the Globe-Miami District ; the
United Verde at Jerome; the Detroit Copper Mining Company of
Arizona, the Arizona Copper Company, Ltd., and the Shan-
non Copper Company in the Clifton-Morenci district, and the Ray
Consolidated Mine at Ray. These are the great ore producers
of Arizona, and number their monthly production by the million
pounds. They employ thousands of men in their mines, con-
centrators and smelters. Their pay rolls run into millions of
dollars annually, and they furnish the basis for large commercial
and industrial enterprises. These mines pay a heavy share of the
State's taxes, are one of its greatest sources of wealth, and a huge
factor in its progress. Producing, in addition, such precious stones
as garnet, opal, sapphire and turquoise, a high grade of marble and
exquisite onyx, which are found in the mountains; great stores of
granite, limestone, tufa, sandstone and other building materials,
Arizona may truly be reckoned the w r orld's greatest mineral de-
pository.
To the farmer or fruit raiser Arizona can offer conditions nearly
perfect soil, warmth and moisture; and for the latter, owing to
the provisions made by irrigation, he is not compelled to trust to the
clouds, but can truly reduce his \vork to a science. The value of
Nature's gifts a mild and extremely healthful climate, a soil of
exceeding fertility lying in broad valleys, almost ready for the plow,
and a ready market for all ranch and orchard products has been
greatly enhanced by the development of the water supply, for many
years one of the most absorbing problems with which the people of
Arizona had to deal. Water is being developed for irrigation pur-
IN ARIZONA
poses through both private and government enterprises, and thou-
sands of acres of land are being reclaimed from the desert and
rendered incomparably productive. After years of doubt and pro-
crastination the national lawmakers have recognized Arizona's possi-
bilities and requirements; have realized that the cultivation of the
soil is practicable everywhere, dependent upon the securing of water,
and, stimulated by an appreciation of this fact, the Reclamation Ser-
vice has given much attention to its arid districts and constructed
mighty dams for the conserving and utilizing of the water resources
of the State.
On the Salt River, above Phoenix, the Roosevelt Dam, a marvel
of modern engineering, is part of the vast work of the Reclamation
Service. It is one of the world's greatest reservoirs and holds in
storage the water with which over two hundred thousand acres of
land can be irrigated, most of it by gravity and the remaining por-
tion by pumping. On the Colorado River, above Yuma, is Laguna
Dam, an Indian weir dam identical in type with that on the River
Nile at Assouan, and a diversion, rather than a storage dam, which
controls the flood waters of the Colorado River. As it was found
practicable to have the main canal on the California side, an im-
mense siphon has been built of steel and concrete beneath the bed
of the river, to carry the water from the main canal to the lands
of the Yuma Valley. The Colorado, thus diverted, furnishes water
for approximately 90,000 acres in its valley, most of which can be
irrigated by gravity. The Gila River empties into the Colorado
from the east just above Yuma, and on the triangle formed by the
junction of the two, about 20,000 acres are watered by a flow diverted
to ditches from the Arizona end of the Laguna Dam. Then, too,
excellent opportunities are offered by the Santa Cruz, San Pedro,
Verde and Agua Fria Rivers for storage and irrigation projects.
The water supply from all sources for irrigating purposes in the
State is estimated at about 5,000,000 acre feet, or sufficient to in-
tensively cultivate 1,000,000 acres of land. In addition to this, ar-
tesian water has been discovered in abundance at various places, in
the Gila and Verde Valleys, and at St. David and Sulphur Springs;
more will be sought and found and the number of acres now yielding
marvelous crops will be increased ten-fold.
With this increase in the area of irrigable lands has come a pro-
portionate growth in the knowledge of possibilities. Fruit raisers
and farmers are beginning to truly appreciate the possibilities of their
land, and to direct their efforts in accordance with this new under-
standing. With a climate and soil adapted to the growing of every
variety of citrus and deciduous fruit known to the temperate and
semi-tropical zones, Arizona would appear to offer all the opportunity
a progressive horticulturist might desire for success and the acquire-
ment of wealth, but when one realizes that in Southern Arizona fruits

ripen from two to eight weeks earlier than elsewhere in the Union,
the possibilities of this avenue of industry appear in their true light,
and Arizona to much greater advantage. The same may be truly said
of almost every variety of vegetable, many of which are available
every day in the year.
During the past year at the International Dry Farming Congress
held at Lethbridge, Canada, fifty-one premiums were taken by this
State in a competition in which were entered fourteen States and
seventeen foreign countries, and this despite the fact that a great part
of the material shipped for entry was unfit for exhibition upon arrival
because it had been packed before properly matured. The entire ex-
hibit was from dry farms in Yavapai, Navajo and Cochise Counties,
Yavapai having taken a majority of the prizes secured. At the First
State Fair held at Phoenix in the fall of 1912, Yavapai County had
a display of more than two hundred varieties of the finest apples,
pears, peaches, quinces, grapes and plums ever shown in the South-
west.
The supreme advantage of the Arizona farmer is his home market,
for the number of thriving towns and mining camps where agricul-
ture is not carried on, all of which are easily accessible, create a de-
mand for farm and orchard products, thereby enabling the farmer
to dispose of his stock to advantage without the necessity of sharing
his profits with the middleman. Experimental stations established
and conducted by the University of Arizona and the United States
Department of Agriculture are demonstrating constantly the possi-
bilities of this irrigated soil by the production of wondrous crops,
w r hich, maturing earlier than in other sections, and possessing a su-
perior flavor, prove highly remunerative.
The live stock industry in Arizona is exceeded in importance only
by mining and agriculture. Cattle growing ranks first and sheep
growing next, and some of the ablest, keenest and wealthiest of
her citizens are men who have attained to their present position from
humble beginnings in these pursuits.
In transportation facilities Arizona is well to the front, having
within its limits more than two thousand miles of railroad, consist-
ing of great trunk lines, branch lines connecting all the important
cities and mining camps, and intimate connection with Mexican
business. The first railroad to build through the State was the
Southern Pacific, which entered from the west at Yuma in 1878, and
extends across the southern portion. The Atlantic & Pacific, now a
portion of the Santa Fe, was built five years later. Next in impor-
tance is the El Paso & Southwestern, with lines now reaching many
of the important cities, one into Tucson recently opened, and others
building.
Usually in new countries the building of a railroad is preceded by
12 \v no's \v H o
the building of towns which make necessary some regular means of
transportation for freight and passengers, hut here the reverse was the
order, and the railroads were built simply in a desire to connect the
States to the east with those to the west, before the public had
awakened to the fact that Arizona had before it a great commercial
future and that as a result of the development of its extraordinary
resources the territory would one day be dotted with thriving cities.
Now practically every producing center is off the main lines of trans-
portation, which lead through the least desirable sections of the State,
and so a score or more of small, independent roads have been built
connecting some of the important centers of industry and population
with the transcontinental lines. The one general disadvantage of
this condition is the inaccuracy of public opinion regarding the
State's industries and attractions, for not even a favorable idea of its
diversity of resources and aggregate of wealth could possibly be
formed by the man whose knowledge of the State is gained through
observation from a passing train. Commonly, the summing up of the
passerby is the superficial impression he receives of glaring, hot sun-
shine, desert and cactus, rather than of thriving cities, grazing herds
and productive fields or mines. Much, therefore, must be done in
the way of publicity to eradicate this erroneous impression regarding
Arizona, which is all too prevalent among the disinterested, with
whom an impression thus received is lasting if dependent upon any
effort of their own for its removal. Much has already been done
in a direct way by charmed newcomers for a temporary stay, whether
business, health-seeking or pleasure, who, meeting with conditions as
they really are, feel only too glad to be able to herald the news of
their good fortune to their friends, but this form of publicity, while
very effective, is not very far reaching. Much is being done in a gen-
eral way by alert and businesslike Chambers of Commerce and Com-
mercial Clubs of the various sections by means of specially prepared
advertising matter, yet, this being one instance where distance does
not lend enchantment to the view, their efforts in that respect when
read two or three thousand miles away, will doubtless meet with
some depreciation from their home value, which is one result of the
unfavorable impression previously formed regarding Arizona's un-
inviting aspect. And so the matter of publicity of the State's actual
advantages, material and otherwise, necessitates eternal vigilance,
lest an opportunity for enlightenment be allowed to slip by without
leaving its footprints in the sands.
Yet this campaign of publicity persistently employed will succeed,
and a constant growth of population by immigration from the East
will ensue, now that the State's greatest lack, a dearth of water to
insure vegetation, has been magnificently overcome by irrigation, and
her greatest foe, the dreaded Apache, has been subdued. Of the
Apache, the following, written nearly forty years ago by one of
\V H S VV H O
Arizona's ardent admirers, has proven prophetic, and Arizona has
been "found to he the very treasure house of this great Republic":
"Indeed, experience seems to have demonstrated that the
Apaches can neither be Christianized nor civilized. They are
the one tribe who refused to receive the cross from good old
Father Kino in 1670, nor have they accepted it since that time,
and I am confident their history will warrant the assertion that
until they are completely exterminated the fertile valleys of
Arizona will never wave with golden grain, her beautiful up-
lands be covered with lowing cattle, her vast alkali plains be
utilized, her lofty mountain peaks echo the hoarse whistle of the
silver smelting furnace, or the smoke ascend from the hearth-
stones of a happy and prosperous people. Never, until then, will
the great mineral wealth of the territory be properly developed,
her rocky fastnesses thoroughly explored, her rich gold placers
worked, and the precious stones that now lie unsought among
the rough pebbles of her mountain streams be brought to yield
their lustrous beauty for the adornment of her fair daughters.
When this has been accomplished, I have no doubt but Arizona
will be found to be the very treasure house of this great Re-
public."
And for the benefit of those upon whom Arizona's real significance
has not yet been impressed, to w r hom the word implies nothing more
than a wide stretch of arid waste, or at best, of semi-civilization
and they are more numerous throughout the East than most of us
realize let us say that the traveler here will find everywhere as
high a state of civilization and intelligence even culture and as
well developed a system of society as any State in the Union can
boast of, and in which education, religion and government are making
constant and exceptional strides. With a splendid and rapidly
growing State University at Tucson, having a School of Mines; thor-
oughly equipped and well conducted Normal Schools at Tempe and
Flagstaff; excellent public schools throughout, even in districts hav-
ing but a few children ; and high schools in all the important towns,
one can not doubt that the facilities for education are ample. And
it can be truthfully said that there are few better systems, thanks
to the sincere and successful efforts of the pioneer educators and to
the highly efficient corps engaged in educational work at present.
The University offers at a minimum cost all the leading branches of
study to be found in any up-to-date curriculum, while its mining
and industrial courses are most practical and thorough. That Ari-
zona in an educational way reaches the standard of other States is
shown by statistics, which prove that among the English speaking
population the proportion of illiterates is very low.
Since the early days of the white people here the history of most of
the churches has been one of accomplishment and progress. The
INARIZONA 15
Catholics, who were the first comers and established here the out-
posts of their religion, are the strongest, having churches in all towns
of any size, convents and schools in larger towns, and a school for
the Papago Indians. There are also creditable church edifices of
practically all denominations, and the Methodists, Presbyterians,
Baptists and Episcopalians have zealous organizations in every city
and town, and regular services in nearly all communities of consider-
able number and stability. The Presbyterians have several churches
among the Indians, and a school at Tucson erected at a cost of
$100,000. The Methodists, too, have erected a church among the
Yuma Indians. There are, in addition, various churches for the
negroes and Spanish missions at several places, all of which depict
their intense loyalty to the spirit of evangelism and represent a strong
force for good in their respective communities. In other districts,
where the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints are in the
majority, their habits of thrift, industry and thoroughness have in-
delibly impressed their mark upon the section. Especially is this true
of Thatcher, where they have an academy, in which, while a church
institution and primarily a theological school, non-members are re-
ceived for the commercial and high school courses, w T ith no regard
whatever to sectarian teaching.
But in other ways also has educational progress manifested itself;
by means of Women's Clubs, with able women at their heads; active
and progressive civic organizations, alert Commercial Clubs and
Chambers of Commerce and Boards of Trade, Y. M. C. A.'s with
departments for instruction in various lines, and through its half a
hundred newspapers, about twenty of which are dailies, is Arizona
forging ahead in matters of general and specific importance.
Arizona has not attained to its present standards from the primi-
tive conditions of early days without supreme effort on the part of
the sturdy pioneers who, made strong by adversity, and inured to
hardihood and sacrifice, came to represent in themselves a class with-
out whose daring to attempt and power to achieve the State could
never have reached its present high plane. While the early pioneers
are rapidly passing away, their spirit of bravery, persistence and iron
will is yet characteristic of the citizenship of the State, both in their
descendants and in the men who came later willing to risk the vicissi-
tudes of life in the thinly populated Territory, and who have done
their part in the molding of the forty-eighth State. There are still
prospectors, too, zealous as of old, whose ambitions and efforts have
accomplished so much ; but to the men who have made mining the
great industry it now is, to the corporations operating mines and
smelters in the most modernly scientific manner, and building about
them up-to-date cities and towns with home, educational and many of
the other advantages of eastern cities, much of Arizona's rapid de-
velopment in recent years must be attributed.

Possessing the best natural roads in the United States, Arizona
has also an enthusiastic Good Roads Association, through whose ef-
forts provision has been made for a system of state highways which
will bring the different portions of the State's area into the most in-
timate relation. Plans have been made for a highway extending
from north to south, running through the capital city and having
laterals reaching to every county seat and to the borders of the ad-
joining States, there to connect with the Ocean to Ocean Highway.
These roads should assuredly be a valuable adjunct in State improve-
ment, as they will encourage closer relationship in business affairs
and thereby develop trade ; prove a tempting invitation to all those
w r ho have a desire to see America's most interesting section and
thereby increase travel for pleasure; make feasible comfortable auto-
mobile tours to the various points of interest, the Grand Canyon of
the Colorado, the Painted Desert, Petrified Forest, Ice Caves, Lava
Beds, Sunset Crater, Moqui Indian Villages, Prehistoric Ruins, Cliff
Dwellings and Montezuma Wells ; and bring within easy reach of
sightseers those missions and ruins of early times which add to the
State's many other charms that of antiquity.
They w r ill also make comparatively easy of access hundreds of
camping grounds in the picturesque valleys of the Colorado, Chiquito,
Oak Creek and Verde Rivers, where excellent trout fishing is to be
found ; while the forests of the Mogollon, Santa Catalina and White
Mountains, which contain an abundance of game, will be the more
readily accessible Mecca of the huntsman. In fact, the number and
variety of interesting tours which they will make possible within the
State can hardly be equaled in any similar area.
Primarily, life in Arizona will impress the newcomer with its
liberality and lack of the artificial, and its recognition and apprecia-
tion of desirable personal qualities. Here merit has more weight
than money, and cordiality, to a greater extent than in most places,
forms the basis of the social structure. Populations are more cos-
mopolitan than ordinarily found, and composed largely of people who
have acquired, through travel and wide experience, a broad and com-
prehensive view of life, and to be accepted one must be likable, loyal
to his resident city, and have virtues as well as ancestors.
Its social life, too, has many phases. In the cities there are ever
the formal and elaborate functions quite in accordance with the
customs of older and larger places, while Country Clubs, with ample
provision for indoor and outdoor diversion whether it be dancing,
lunching, tennis or golf are the boast of the larger cities. There are
also spacious halls and theaters which provide other modes of en-
tertainment. And everywhere climate and circumstances favor out-
door recreation, which materially adds to the charm of life. To a
recent arrival one of the most novel and refreshing forms of recrea-
tion afforded by many of the localities is the possibility in midwinter,
18
W H O S WHO
[ N A R I 7. O N A

of comfortably spending a day in riding, driving or automobiling
with none of the rigors of an eastern winter to be endured, but in
constant enjoyment of an atmosphere as pleasing to the eye as it is
invigorating to the body, a striking feature of the country, where
over all the landscape hangs a veil of soft purple haze which gives
to the scene a mysterious, subtle quality.
With the beautiful, as with the material, Nature has been not
only liberal, but lavish, to Arizona, for nowhere else on the conti-
nent are the skies more soft, the air more clear, the stars more
bright, or the moon so radiantly beautiful. And nowhere are the
sun's rays more potent for good to human and plant life, or the
sunsets afford more pleasure to even the mildly appreciative eye.
"When the God of Day sinks to rest behind some rugged
mountain, lighting up the western heavens with a blaze of gold,
and pink, and crimson, and orange, and wrapping the jagged
peaks of the bare and forbidding mountains in a soft and dreamy
haze of purple and violet ; when the banks of clouds around the
western horizon look like masses of burnished gold set in a sea
of silver, then is presented a picture to which neither pen nor
pencil can do justice. And when the last ray has disappeared
and the western sky is yet blushing with the mellow radiance of
the last golden caress, the stars begin to peep out from the clear
blue canopy and in a short time the vault of heaven's dome is lit
up by the brilliant beams from the countless creations that gem
the firmament."
Not more at variance are the methods of access to the State, from
the days of the old timer who staged it in to the present day mode
of travel in a Pullman car, than are the conditions found upon ar-
rival. In contrast with the deprivations of the desert, the probable
attack of the Indian and the other perils likely to be encountered by
the then occupant of an isolated home, the newcomer of today will
find in various sections valleys of exceedingly fertile lands, productive
in the extreme ; a number of truly modern cities such as Phoenix,
Tucson, Bisbee, Prescott, Douglas and Globe, with a number of lesser
towns and villages, and all throughout the spirit of activity that be-
tokens rapid progress and the development of a commonwealth im-
pregnated with unexcelled possibilities. With such conditions, assured
of ample reward, the progressive and energetic citizens of Arizona
are impelled to put forth their best efforts, whatever may be the
trend of their endeavors.
From February, 1863, to February, 1912, a period of forty-nine
years, Arizona remained a territory, despite years of patient but
unprofitable effort on the part of her ablest citizens, whose endeavors
were finally rewarded when on the fourteenth of February, 1912,
Arizona was admitted to statehood, and the forty-eighth star was

added to the United States flag. February 14, known as Statehood
Day, has been made a legal holiday in the State, and its first anni-
versary and the following day, February 14 and IS, were the oc-
casion of an elaborate celebration at Phoenix. On Statehood Day
the speakers were Vice President-elect Thomas P. Marshall, Gov-
ernor Hunt and Robert Emmett Morrison of Prescott, one of the
state's leading attorneys.
At the close of the first half centurv of Arizona's existence

attractions to the newcomer, whether in search of health, wealth,
home or pleasure, infinitely increased by its wondrous devel-
opment, and the added dignity which attaches to it because of its
admission to Statehood, one is led to wonder what the remaining half
of its first century may mean to the forty-eighth State, but who might
attempt to foretell ?

The Salt River Valley
By Harry Welsh, Secretary of the Phoenix Board of Trade
Now is Arizona with us. A sister state rich in opportunity and
eagerly extending the hand of welcome to the settler who is looking
for ideal conditions. Mines and minerals, timber lands and great
stock ranges, sheep pastures and mountain farms all offer good open-
ings-
Agricultural Arizona is centered chiefly in and around the Salt
River Valley, which locality historians tell was once the home of an
ancient race of husbandmen that practiced irrigation and built great
canal systems and granaries. Some few evidences of these first Ameri-
cans remain at this day; the lines of the old canal systems have been
found, and ditches lined with a natural cement are laid with that
accuracy of measurement which would seem impossible without the
delicate engineering instruments of the present date. Here in the
Salt River Valley, an agricultural paradise, is a land where sunshine
saturates the fields, building energy and hope ; lifting the task of labor,
where smiling skies reflect the spirit of enthusiasm born of health and
happiness.
The Salt River Valley has thousands of acres of soil, than which
there is no better in the world. Included in the area under irrigation
are two hundred and forty thousand acres of the choicest land. The
Salt River project is the world's premier irrigation system, with the
great Roosevelt dam as the backbone. The Salt River project, it is
generally conceded, is the most perfect in existence, and has been com-
mended by engineers and irrigation authorities who have journeyed
east and west, north and south, from far off Australia, from Russia,
and from Egypt to examine and to praise.
Here nothing has been left undone to make the lot of the farmer
more pleasant or more profitable. Here is an ideal farming commun-
ity supplied with all conditions that spell success ; where soil is unex-
celled, water supply guaranteed by government works, and the climate
perfect for the production of varied, bountiful and profitable crops.
The first farmers built small diversion dams on the Salt River, only
to see them washed away by the first freshet following a storm in the
distant mountains. Plans for a storage dam and an immense reservoir
were not dreamed of for a long time, but it was eventually realized
that a system w r hich would properly care for the particular needs of
the locality must be very large and very exhaustive in its operation.
Government aid must be secured. This was accomplished by the
passage of the Reclamation Act, and the work of constructing the
Salt River project was undertaken as soon as the United States Recla-
mation Service was organized.
Many sites were examined and one about 75 miles east of Phoenix
selected. Here the Tonto Creek and the Salt River enter a great
Roosevelt Lake and Granite Reef Dam
IN ARIZONA
23
natural basin, and then together flow through a narrow gorge which
was found to be admirably adapted to the construction of a great
dam. So Nature was found ready to cooperate in this great work,
but her cooperation did not cease after providing a location. Deposits
of shale and other materials necessary to make a fine quality of cement
were found close by the damsite, and a rock suitable for use in the
dam itself was also near at hand. The strata of the rock walls of the
canyon lie at an angle which added greater strength to the whole
structure, and the result is a monolithic mass 168 feet thick at base
and rising 287 feet from the river bed, the whole structure being set
into the walls of the canyon, and into the bed-rock of the river, a dis-
tance of 30 feet.
The dam is 168 feet through at the base and tapers to a width of
20 feet at the top ; the length of the dam on top is 680 feet, added to
which are two spillways, each 200 feet long. These spillw r ays are
spanned by splendid concrete bridges, making a total length of 1080
feet.
Some of the blocks of stone weighed 30 tons each, and each rock,
before being put into position, was washed under hydraulic pressure,
and set in cement. Back of this gigantic wall the water from the
Tonto Creek and Salt River is held in check in a lake which will
cover 25 square miles in area and contain 1,300,000 acre feet of water,
or enough to cover all the land in the valley under irrigation with
water five feet deep.
The two streams drain a great section of country, covering over
6260 square miles. This immense area is mostly Forest Reserve, and
has an elevation varying from 2000 feet to high mountain peaks, which
rise 11,500 feet above the sea level. This drainage basin insures an
unfailing water supply to fill the great reservoir, and the whole area
is under the supervision of officials and protected.
The rainfall in this area supplying the Roosevelt reservoir has been
estimated from returns made for 25 years, and approximates 19.10
inches each year.
Here in the mountains, 75 miles from Phoenix, is a huge body of
water capable of floating the combined Atlantic and Pacific fleets.
The dam, which makes this lake possible, was built at a cost of $3,-
500,000. This is the biggest item in the cost of the Salt River Project,
which now totals about $9,000,000.
The road from Phoenix to the dam is through a wonderful suc-
cession of mountains, which presents an ever-changing array of colors
and forms. The ride is one full of magnificent surprises, impressive in
the extreme, rivalling famous roads and drives in Europe, and without
an equal in this country. This road was constructed by the Reclama-
tion Service, is traversed by automobiles with perfect safety and ease,

which is a diversion dam 1100 feet long and 38 feet high. This enor-
mous weir is also built of masonry and cement, and serves to check the
flow of the water in the river, diverting the same into the main canals
on the north and south banks of the stream.
These canals are themselves like rivers. The main canal is the
"Arizona," having a width of 72 feet and a depth of eight feet. Over
640 miles of canals have been constructed to date. This system in-
cludes wherever possible the development of electrical power from
various canals, and eventually, when all of the plans and works are
completed, there will be 27,000 horse power generated, the greater
quantity of which will be for sale to outside parties. Some of it is
used for pumping water to serve lands within the irrigation project,
but the power that will be sold outside will bring a big revenue
annually.
At present the cities of Phoenix, Mesa, Glendale and Tempe are
supplied with power from the project, the revenue from the sale to
these cities going to defray part of the expense of constructing the
system.
Lands under the project are now held in private ownership, and
the water right belongs to the land itself, and cannot be sold apart
from the land. Every land owner has a voice in the conducting of
the affairs of the Water Users' Association, which will control the
project as soon as it is turned over by the Reclamation Service. The
Salt River Valley Water Users' Association will be one of the largest
cooperative institutions in the country; not only will it control the
water service for 230,000 acres of land, and have for sale several
thousand electrical horsepower each year, but eventually it will have
water to sell to lands outside of the project, thereby adding still fur-
ther to its revenue.
The land to be irrigated lies in a compact body. The area that will
be watered will cover 230,000 acres, of which 190,000 will be watered
by gravity flow, and 40,000 by pumping. At this time about 160,000
acres are in cultivation, and the remaining 70,000 acres are rapidly
being put into crops.
The soil is of fine quality and equal to any to be found in the
famous garden spots of the world. It has in fact, but few equals, and
its superior is not to be found anywhere not even in the Valley of
the Nile, the "polders" of Holland or the famous "black lands" of
Russia. The soil material is the result of erosion from the surround-
ing mountains, together with quantities of silt brought down by rivers
and streams. It has been the task of ages, doubtless hundreds and
thousands of years required to build up the great level plain which is
now the valley floor. Out of this level the encircling ranges rise like
cliffs from out the placid surface of some great lake.
The silt or soil is easily worked, lending itself most readily to farm-
ing operations, and lies in an almost perfect plane, with just sufficient

fall to make easy the operation of gravity irrigation. This silt contains
in great measure the ingredients required for successful agriculture,
and the soil is inexhaustible. It is of four types, gravelly loam, sandy
loam, Maricopa loam and Glendale loess. The gravelly loam is the
best orange land and is closer to the hills. The sandy loam has a
little gravel, less than ten per cent, and is a rich and easily worked soil.
The Maricopa loam is a heavier quality of the same soil. The Glen-
dale loess is similar to the Mississippi valley type of soil, 40% is silt
and 25% very fine sand. This is highly decomposed material and
analysis shows much lime, potash and phosphoric acid. The latter, a
most valuable constituent, exists here in the surprising proportion of
22-100%. The depth of the soil throughout the valley is generally
very marked. Near Glendale the silt or loess type of soil is often
one hundred feet deep ; near Phoenix, borings show deposits five hun-
dred feet deep without rock, while further east 1,300 feet borings end
in clay. Here are 240,000 acres of as good land as may be found in
any one country in the world.
With this splendid soil and a complete system of irrigation it is not
surprising that there are to be found in the valley of the Salt River
conditions which are present in many countries at widely separated
points throughout the world. The dates of Arabia and the Soudan
are thriving and bearing luscious fruit; the orange, lemon and grape-
fruit rival their relatives from Florida; cotton thrives and gives prom-
ise of a crop that will be without a peer; sugar beets yield nineteen
per cent of saccharine matter; the Rocky Ford type of cantaloupe has
developed until a special variety is produced in great quantities with
splendid success; corn, milo maize, kaffir corn, all yield with more
energy than in their native lands; the broad fields of alfalfa return
several crops each year; the fig, peach, pear, plum, and in fact, all
varieties of fruit trees blossom and bear with big returns. Here the
ostrich is as much at home as on the South African farm. The live
stock industry can be operated with great success. It requires no pro-
tection further than a little shade, as cattle and horses are allowed
to run in green fields the year round. They require no shelter in
winter, barns are unnecessary, and the farmer is not required to store
up feed for the winter. Sheep graze throughout the surrounding
country, and are brought in large numbers to the Salt River Valley
for shearing and fattening. Conditions for dairying are ideal.
The valley lies under a half tropical sun, insures a long growing
season and a wide range of products. Here a man does not grow
what he must, but what he chooses what is in line with his tastes,
his experience, or his judgment. As has been shown, some things
which can not be grown elsewhere on the continent can be grown
here, and some things can be grown better here than elsewhere, as
regards both quality and quantity.
The mistake of the farmer for generations has been to think more
of land than of climate, but today we are in an era of new agricul-

ture. We see the wisdom of intensive farming. Fewer acres and
better tillage, or a farm of moderate size under skies that clothe the
fields with emerald in January and provide something for the market
nearly every month in the year is the aim. Here are to be seen young
beets in the fields the last of January, the mowers cutting alfalfa in
the middle of February, the cattle feeding in December on fields of
barley, the rank growth of which must be kept back. The natural
conditions make life comfortable and the earning of one's bread easy.
Favorable as the climatic conditions are for agriculture, they are
also ideal for health. The dry, clear atmosphere encourages out-of-
door occupations. People live more in the open owing to the con-
genial conditions prevailing most of the year, and all of this counts
for health, vigor and active life.
The average temperature for the spring season is 67.3 degrees; for
the summer 87.3 degrees; for the autumn 70.1 degrees, and for the
winter 52.1 degrees, or an average for the entire year of 69.4 degrees.
Clear, sunshiny days are usual. During a period of forty years the
average number of clear days each year has reached 232, partly cloudy
days 96, cloudy days 37, and the same number of rainy days. Of
foggy days there were only two each year. During the same period of
years the average annual rainfall was 8.08 inches.
In the heart of the great Salt River Valley, centrally situated in
the area irrigated from the Roosevelt Dam, lies the city of Phoenix,
the capitol city of Arizona, and the busy business city of the new State.
A census of the population in Phoenix will show over 18,000 people,
with an additional 5,000 in the suburbs immediately adjacent. There
are 20,000 people who are supplied with mail from the Phoenix post-
office, and by the five rural routes which are supplied from the city.
The growth and future prosperity of the city are assured by the
immense possibilities of this body of 230,000 acres of agricultural land.
Markets for the produce of the valley are found in the mining camps
in the State, and much is shipped throughout the country.
Entering the valley there are two railroad systems, with branches
radiating to the Southern Pacific main line at Maricopa ; to the Santa
Fe main line at Ash Fork, to Los Angeles by way of Parker, into the
Gila valley mining section to the eastward, and into the Buckeye
valley westward. This Gila Valley-Buckeye stretch of the Southern
Pacific will soon be connected up at Yuma and San Carlos into a
main line for the road through Arizona with the lowest gradients of
any transcontinental line. The El Paso and Southwestern railroad
system has surveyed a line to Phoenix from Benson through Tucson,
and will start work this year, bringing also the traffic of the Port
Lobos road, a Santa Fe line, to tidewater on the Gulf of California.
It is a beautiful valley, resplendent under the unhindered sun, with
great fields and orchards, set in a frame of friendly mountains, red,
brown, purple and parti-colored in their coverings.

Tucson and Pima County
By John F. Myers, Secretary of the Tucson Chamber of Commerce
The story of the development and growth of Tucson from an old
desert pueblo to what has been very aptly termed "The livest-big-
little city in the Southwest," is a story worthy of a master's telling.
From the establishment of the San Xavier Del Bac Mission in 1687
to the coming of the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1878, it was a
typical frontier town. Unprotected from the ravages of the Apaches
and other tribes until the establishment of Fort Lowell in 1866, it
offered but small inducements to the settler, but upon the completion
of the railroad came first the miner and prospector, then the shop-
keeper, and finally, hearing in some way of the wonderful healing
qualities of the climate, the health seeker and tourist. The miner
discovered an immense resource, and capital built great smelters, until
Tucson became the center of the world's richest copper mining sec-
tion. The tourist and health-seeker came to be the resident, built
homes, hotels and business blocks, and today we have a modern- up-
to-date city of more than 20,000; a city of homes and schools and
churches, a city of business houses, progressive and growing.
These forces have given the city a splendid foundation, and made
possible its wonderful growth into the city of today from a town of
little more than 1,000 in 1900. But 1912 has seen the development
of another great resource, sufficient water to irrigate thousands of
acres of arable land tributary to the city, and the birth of a new era.
Tucson will soon have an agricultural back country capable of sup-
porting a great population and making it a power in the development
of the Southwest. And all because one man dreamed of such a possi-
bility, believed in his dream and fought for it. To his belief and work
is due the coming of the Tucson Farms Company, and its develop-
ment work the clearing, irrigating and placing under cultivation of
more than 6,000 acres in the Santa Cruz Valley. This is but the
beginning of an extensive agricultural development, for other com-
panies are now in the field doing a similar work.
Commercially, Tucson is located on the main trunk line of the
Southern Pacific, at the end of a division, and is the present western
terminus of the El Paso & Southwestern System. It is also the
northern terminus of the great railway system now pushing down
the West Coast of Mexico under the direction of the Southern Pa-
cific, connecting Tucson with the Mexican seaports of Guaymas and
Mazatlan, and destined to reach Guadalajara, and thence by the
National line to the City of Mexico.
Politically, it is the official seat of Pima County, a county rich in
mines and in grazing and agricultural lands, the area of which is
equal to that of Massachusetts and Rhode Island combined.

The strength of the city is in the network of railroads reaching east
and west and south. Here is the division headquarters of the South-
ern Pacific's Sunset Route and its repair shops and army of employes,
and also the general offices of the Arizona Eastern Railway and of the
Southern Pacific's Mexican West Coast Lines.
The short, direct line from Tucson to Nogales places Tucson in a
strategic position, making it the gateway to that vast fertile region
lying along the West Coast of Mexico, which is now being opened
to settlement by Americans by the construction of the Southern Pa-
cific's road down through Sonora and across the broad valleys of the
Yaqui and Mayo Rivers.
In addition to this the El Paso & Southwestern has now built into
Tucson from Benson, connecting Tucson with the mining towns of
Bisbee and Douglas and the prosperous commercial city of El Paso,
Texas. It is headed westward, and will connect Phoenix and Yuma
with Tucson, while it has projected a spur to the rich mineral fields
in the Santa Catalina Mountains north of the city, and a road from
Sasco west of Tucson, to Port Lobos on the Gulf of California. This
would make a fertile country in the extreme southwest tributary to
this city and add another and shorter route to the Mexican Coast, the
one actually in operation being the Southern Pacific line to Guaymas
and Mazatlan.
Mining assets include not only the mines of Pima and Santa Cruz
Counties, but largely of Pinal and Cochise counties and of part of
New Mexico and the Mexican state of Sonora. This district is per-
haps the richest copper mining district in the world. The opening of
the plant of the Pioneer Smelting Company early in 1912 has
caused a resumption of operations in the Helvetia, Mineral Hill and
Twin Buttes districts and the development of other properties, and
has brought $40,000 per month net into Pima County and Tucson.
A great variety of copper ore is found in the county, and gold, silver,
zinc, tungsten, lead and galena are produced here. The trade of the
city in mining machinery and supplies of many kinds extends over a
large area on both sides of the international boundary.
The Cattle Industry is one of the large resources of the county,
and the value of range cattle shipped from Tucson in a single year
has exceeded $900,000.
The county has always been famous for the abundance and quality
of its beef cattle. This is due to the great area of grazing lands and
to the nutritious and highly flavored wild grasses of the mountain
slopes, which impart a sweetness and flavor to beef unattainable by
fattening in the stall or even upon alfalfa.
Tucson is the chief educational center of the state, ow y ing to the
location here of the University of Arizona, with its score of professors
and teachers, and of the United States Agricultural Experiment Sta-
tion, with chemical laboratories and facilities for specializing in sev-
34

eral important agricultural studies. The University of Arizona is sit-
uated a mile from the heart of the city. Through its Agricultural
and Mining Departments, this institution has a most vital and inti-
mate connection with the Southwest, and particularly with Arizona.
The public schools, of which there are five, and the high school,
were built at a cost of over $300,000 and are among the best looking
structures in the city. The schools are so well distributed that
scarcely a home in the city is more than a five-minute walk from one
of them. The new high school building has fifteen recitation rooms,
with laboratories for physiography, chemistry and physics and a fine
assembly hall with a seating capacity of more than eight hundred.
The city has several private and denominational institutions.
The Methodist School for Mexican Girls, conducted by the Home
Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, cares for 48
girls in a $16,000 home. A training school for Pima and Papago
Indians, conducted by the Worn' 's Board of Missions of the Pres-
byterian Church has an enrollmei^ of over a hundred and fifty. The
institution has a one hundred and sixty-acre farm near the city and
$50,000 has been spent on its buildings.
More than 125 pupils are instructed at the Papago Indian School,
maintained at the San Xavier Mission by the Sisters of St. Joseph.
The work in behalf of the Papagoes is supplemented by the United
States Government, which has a $10,000 school house and dormitory.
In the city itself the Catholic church is active in the educational
field, maintaining an excellent parochial school with an enrollment of
nearly 400, and St. Joseph's Orphanage, the home of 40 children. A
most important work is also done by the St. Joseph's Academy, a
boarding school for girls and young ladies. This institution has an
enrollment of 200 and offers a very thorough course of study, not
only in the elementary branches but also in high school study, music,
art, etc. Their full course prepares for regular College work.
The climate of Tucson, especially in the winter months, is ac-
knowledged to be the best on the American continent. In the past
three years there have been but ten days in which the sun did not
shine in this city. This is the great feature of the region the
amount of sunshine and it is in arid regions that the sun attains its
greatest vivifying influence. The germicidal power of sunshine is
well known, and here the chemical activity of its rays is not lost in
clouds or fogs, but exerts its full force. There is no other portion
of the United States that will compare favorably w T ith that in and
about Tucson for the relief of pulmonary affections. That is the
opinion of eminent physicians and scientific climatologists, and the
basis of this opinion is the maximum of sunshine, the clearness of the
atmosphere and the rapid radiation which brings a tonic and refresh-
ing coolness to the night. And the summer is dry. The experts of
WHO'S WHO IN ARIZONA 37
the Experiment Station say that to get the sensible summer tempera-
ture here it is necessary to subtract fifteen to thirty degrees from the
maximum. That is to say, the dryness of the air makes Tucson that
much cooler than the East under corresponding temperatures.
The average rainfall for forty-one years at Tucson is 11.66 inches.
The average for the past ten years has been 11.78, the greatest pre-
cipitation occurring during July and August, with December a good
third.
The summer storms are short, uncertain, refreshing. The air
parts with its humidity rapidly, and the clear, tonic, dry atmosphere
returns quickly.
Travelers say this atmosphere of Southern Arizona has the same
bracing and exhilarating qualities as the air of the Sahara, and that
it is drier than any part of the valley of the Nile north of the
Cataract.
Water for the city comes from wells located in the valley four
miles distant. The capacity of the present water works has been
outgrown, and is now being enlarged, a bond issue providing $125,000
to cover the cost. In a small way windmills are made use of for ir-
rigation, but power pumps are most relied on, water being obtained at
from 10 to 150 feet.
The economic aspect of pumping for irrigation has been well
threshed out, the conclusion being that while not so cheap or con-
venient as ditch supplies from rivers, the productivity of the land in
this climate and the increased market value of the products, make the
slightly increased cost of pumping economical, while there are some
important advantages over ditch irrigation. Well supplies are con-
tinuous and fairly uniform throughout the year, and water is avail-
able when it is most needed.
The Tucson Gas, Electric Light and Power Company supplies
power for manufacturing as well as gas and electricity for domestic
use. Several miles of line have also been thrown out into the sur-
rounding country to supply pumping plants for irrigation.
Tucson is essentially a city of homes. The residential streets and
districts attract attention for their beauty and adaptation of the archi-
tecture to the climate, and because of the gardens and trees.
On the social and religious side Tucson is the equal of any Eastern
city of the same size. There are twelve churches: two Methodist,
two Baptist and two Presbyterian, as well as Catholic, Episcopal,
Congregational, Christian, Christian Science, Lutheran and Jewish.
Practically all the fraternal organizations are represented, and
there are several clubs, four of which occupy buildings of their own.
The Old Pueblo Club building was recently completed at a cost of
$60,000, and the Eagles have just finished splendid clubrooms in their
own building. There are organizations for women also, including
the Woman's Club, the Collegiate Club and the Music Club.

Santa Cruz County
Allen T. Bird, Editor Nogales Oasis
SANTA CRUZ COUNTY, politically one of the smallest in the State,
is one of the southermost and adjoins Mexico on its northern bound-
ary. Its county seat, Nogales, is known as "The Line City." The
region embraced within this county consists of lofty mountain ranges
teeming with undeveloped mineral wealth, and enclosing rich and
fertile valleys susceptible of a high state of cultivation. The moun-
tains offer splendid opportunities for successful investments in mining
operations with manifold returns, and the valleys injure to the capable
tiller of the soil not only a competence, but independence and wealth;
while the rolling hills between afford ground for the breeding and
rearing of cattle that may be fattened for the markets near at hand
upon the succulent and juicy forage plants raised upon neighboring
farms. Seldom can there be found anywhere so great a variety of
natural resources awaiting development as here, where the field, the
farm and the mine closely supplement each other and support a large
and industrious population.
According to the assessment roll of 1912 the taxable value of prop-
erty within Santa Cruz County was $2,815,133.54, showing an in-
crease of $330,429.58 over that of the previous year.
It is stated upon good authority that in the San Rafael and Rain
Valleys alone there are between four and five hundred quarter sections
of good land capable of producing excellent crops, that two years ago
were open to homestead location. Within the past 18 months 150
such locations have been made in these valleys, and about 200 other
entries are now being made. It is anticipated that during the current
year every available location will be taken. Most of those who have
taken up this land are people of means, who have gone to work in the
right way, and whose coming and the application of whose capital and
labor will make the eastern part of Santa Cruz County one of the
most populous and wealthy regions in the State.
The agricultural possibilities of Santa Cruz County have been
realized but recently, and even at this time are not thoroughly com-
prehended by the majority. For many years there has been a limited
cultivation in the river bottoms along the Santa Cruz and Sonoita
Rivers, from which some water for irrigation has been obtained, and
there have been a few isolated places in the mountains where good
crops have been raised ; but recently general attention has been attract-
ed to the valleys referred to above and there have been recorded phe-
nomenal growths of milo maize, corn, and apples, while nearly all
deciduous fruits thrive well in the vicinity. A hydrographic map of
the United States, published by the Smithsonian Institute, shows the

annual precipitation to exceed twenty inches of water and classifies this
region with the western parts of Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakotas.
The area included in this classification extends in a northwesterly di-
rection from the vicinity of Cananea, Mexico, to Prescott, and is about
sixty miles in width, and within Santa Cruz County the rainfall is
shown to be much heavier than in the regions on either side. The sur-
face water is tapped by wells that vary in depth from a few feet to
sixty or more, and in places in the vicinity of Elgin wells of a depth of
sixty to ninety feet have struck flows of water which raised in the
wells twenty or thirty feet, and produced an apparently inexhaustible
supply. Settlers of experience in various artesian belts express a firm
belief that wells bored to a depth of six or seven hundred feet will tap
water strata that will send to the surface strong and abundant flows.
Dairy Scene in Santa Cruz
In many of the mountain ranges mining operations of considerable
importance have been conducted for a number of years, but the work
has not been carried to any great depth. However, geologists and
mining experts who have visited the region insist that the indications
all point to the possibilities of successful and profitable deep mining;
and where depth has been attained, notably at Duquesne, in the Pata-
gonia Mountains, and at the World's Fair mine, in the same vicinity,
the results have borne out these assertions. Within the past year re-
markable developments have been made in properties in widely sepa-
rated districts, in the Patagonia and the Santa Rita Mountains and
the Oro Blanco country, all of which show that deep mining in Santa
Cruz County is in its infancy only, and some of the heaviest mining
operators and corporations in the United States have bought proper-
ties and commenced development work. Among these are the Phelps-
Dodge Company, one of the greatest copper mining syndicates in the
world, who have recently bought the World's Fair mine; W. A.

Clarke, owner of the United Verde, said to be the greatest copper
mine in the world, has bought the Trench mine in the same locality;
and N. L. Amster, President of the Shannon Copper Company, at
Clifton, has bought and is developing the R. R. R. group. This, in
itself, spealrs volumes for the latent mineral resources of Santa Cruz
County.
A fine grade of chalcedony, equal to the far famed Mexican onyx,
used largely in ornamentation and finish of construction work, in ar-
chitecture, is found in large quantities on the north side of the Santa
Rita Mountains.
The cattle industry has been an important interest from the early
settlements here, and in the mountains and hills are extensive ranges
unfitted for any purpose other than grazing. The grasses grow rank
and abundant, and except in seasons of the most severe and protracted
drought, there is seldom a scarcity of water. Development of water
will help out in such seasons. The cattle growers in the hills and
mountains find right at home a market for their feeders, and instead
of sending out to market cattle that must be fed before making good
beef, there will be turned off annually thousands of head of finished
Nogales in Early Days
bullocks fit for the block. During many years the cattle growers of
Santa Cruz County have turned their attention to high bred stock and
their herds are now well graded up. The industry is on a good, sub-
stantial basis, and will continue to be an important factor in the ad-
vancement of this great region.
The population of the county, according lo the census of 1910, was
less than 7,000, but is now r estimated to be close to 9,000. About
3,500 of this number w r ere residents of the county seat, Nogales, and

the remainder of the outlying precincts. It is conservatively estimated
that at the end of another year it will number about 10,000.
In addition to Nogales, the principal towns of the county are Pata-
gonia, Harshaw, Tubac and Oro Blanco. Harshaw is one of the old-
est mining camps in that part of Arizona, and Tubac a town that goes
back in history to the time of the early Spanish occupation, and was a
place of some importance at the time of the American occupation.
The county is served by two branches of the Southern Pacific R. R.
and trains run through to both Benson and Tucson, there to connect
with main line trains in either direction, and at The Line Citv with

trains to and from all points on the West Coast reached by the lines
of the Southern Pacific of Mexico.
Nogales is the central point for several important branches of the
U. S. government service. It is the headquarters for the Customs Col-
lection district of Arizona and the Immigration Bureau has there an
important office.
Having in its favor its natural resources, climate, situation, and an
active and energetic people, Santa Cruz County seems destined to be-
come at no very distant day one of the most populous and wealthy
counties in the state, and the seat of a civilization of the very highest
order.

Graham County
(By R. J. Young, Immigration Commissioner)
We want good people to help us open up this great valley of the
Gila, the finest garden spot in the west, tb" best climate in Arizona,
the finest soils, the most water per acre for the irrigated lands, the
best canal system, excepting the government control systems, of any
portion of the west. We have more water per acre than any other
section, and without the water you have nothing but an arid waste.
Our lands pay more money per acre than any other lands in Arizona
and are sold for less. We have no speculative value, the value of the
land, irrigated, being derived from the earning power of the money
invested, no more no less. Our valley fences are bull proof, horse
high and hog tight. Nothing can keep our crops from growing but the
clouds.
We have graded schools in Solomonville, Safford, Thatcher, Cen-
tral and Pima and district schools in all the outlying districts, the
best of teachers and good accommodations for the pupil.
Thatcher has an academy equal to any in the new State, in which
are taught all the higher branches.
Our valley is about forty miles long and two to four miles in
width, with about thirty thousand acres actually under cultivtaion.
The principal crop raised for exportation is the great forage crop,
alfalfa. Last year we shipped about 40,000 tons to outside points
and consumed about 50,000 tons at home in the fattening of cattle
and raising of hogs.
We have three flour mills in the valley and are now raising a grade
of wheat which will permit our mills to compete with outside mills
in the production of flour.
Our vegetables are equal to any raised in the State and bring the
top of the market at Globe and Miami, but \ve do not raise half
enough for the consumption of the mining camps and the result is that
a portion of the perishable stuff is shipped in from California.
All our mesa land has at one time supported a vast population of
our ancient brethren. Pottery is plowed up in the field, beautiful spec-
imens of the ancients' work of art, in a perfect condition of preserva-
tion. There are acres of land where you can trace their old dwell-
ings, in perfectly symmetrical lines, showing the size of each building.
On the Bonita Creek we find many old buildings in a perfect state of
preservation, the imprint of the fingers being just as distinct as it
was the day the aborigines took the mud in their hands and plastered
the walls. The timbers in the roofs are as hard as iron and the roots
themselves absolutely perfect. The small orifices left for the family

to enter the dwelling are today as they were thousands of years ago.
The buildings that are in such a perfect state of preservation are
under the lee of enormous bluffs, overhanging instead of being perpen-
dicular, protecting the buildings from the action of the elements.
Their old canals are traceable in many places, showing they carried
on an extensive irrigation, and in fact in many of the old ruins cotton
cloth has been dug up, seeds of many varieties, ojas filled with the
bones and ashes of human beings, their form of burying the dead be-
ing cremation. Where once lived such a vast population there must
be some inherent quality of the soil, an atmospheric condition unknown
in other sections to warrant the old timer to dwell in such vast num-
bers in our valley. The modern people who are now invading and
making their homes in this wonderful valley realize the incomparable
beauty of our surroundings and the ideal conditions that permit the
farmer to raise such an abundance of the good things of life and the
prosperous condition of the farmer verifies the opinion that we have
the best valley, the most productive valley, the best irrigation system,
the most water per acre, the most reasonable land values of any
section of the great State of Arizona.
The towns of Pima and Safford have a splendid water system,
piped throughout their streets. This water is perfection itself and
comes from the lofty mountains and the precipitous canyons of the
famous Graham Mountains, just south of this great valley, rising to
a height of 10,600 feet above sea level, snow-capped most of the year
and covered with a splendid growth of pine and fir. It is just a halt
day's travel from the heat of the valley to the most perfect summer
climate in the world, where one can enjoy the cool breezes and the
perfect climatic conditions that make an ideal summer and a perfect
health resort, for rest and recuperation in the summer time. \Ve
have saw mills on this mountain and supply considerable of the lum-
ber used in the valley towns. On the west side of this famous moun-
tain we have the Aravaipa Valley, the most beautiful roads, the
finest stock and grass growing country in Arizona. The Industrial
school is located on the south slope of this great mountain, where
once stood and where now you may see the vast ruins of the once
great government post, Fort Grant, the grandest and most perfect
post the federal government ever built in the far west, the mammoth
buildings falling into decay and ruin and now another era of man is
reclaiming it and building a new school for the education of those
who have not the opportunity of most of us, wards of the State.
This is a great cattle and goat country, and thousands of dollars
each year are derived from the sale of goats' wool, mohair, and cattle.
Considerable farming is being done, most of the products being con-
sumed at home.
On the north slope of the Graham Mountains we have an artesian
belt about twenty miles in length and from four to six miles in
4S

width. Only a portion of this belt has been reclaimed and we are
bringing in new w T ells all the time. We have some wonderful flows
of water, ascending from two to sixteen inches above the collar of the
pipe and some of the wells are flowing sufficient water for the irriga-
tion of one hundred and twenty acres of land. What more would
the settler ask than a permanent water right for $500 or $1,000. The
cost of sinking these wells is approximately $1 per foot and there is no
place in the artesian belt where they have not encountered a good flow
of water. The temperatures of this water is about 75 degrees and
permits the farmer to raise garden truck all the year and in the winter
time the mining camps pay the highest price for green vegetables.
Think what the future of this one section alone means to a live, wide-
awake farmer. The extent of this underground flow has never been
determined.
The farmers in the artesian belt have recently organized a cotton
growers' association and have signed up considerable land for the pur-
pose of raising cotton and making it one of our permanent industries.
So far the cotton grown has been in an experimental way, but has
proven beyond doubt that we can raise cotton equal to any section of
the south.
We are working hand in hand with the Ocean to Ocean Highway
and have done wonders for our road system in the last year. Through
the heart of the valley we have as good dirt roads as are found
anywhere and are continually grading and adding, just as fast as the
road fund will permit. We have graded several miles of new road
in the Fort Thomas section, have signed a contract with the Indian
agent for the completion of the road from Geronimo to San Carlos,
across the reservation, and several miles have already been completed.
This road has always been an eyesore and a terrible trial to the
autoist on account of the washes and sand. This has all been done
away with. The main washes are now bridged and a great portion
of the road graded and in perfect condition, so that the machine man
need have no fear of the reservation. Our congressman has recently
informed us that Congress has made the appropriation for the
bridges at the San Carlos and the Gila Rivers, the building of which
will entirely close the gap between the good roads and give the
traveling public an ideal highway to the Phoenix and Globe section
without having to pass over the high altitudes, muddy roads, torren-
tial streams and isolated section of the White Mountains. The
eastern traveler can now bring his machine to the warm south and
our glorious climate without incurring any undue inconvenience. This
means all the eastern travel heading toward the San Diego Pan-
American Exposition will find we have a glorious route through
Arizona and that he will travel for days in sight of agricultural
fields, farm houses, growing crops and running water and that we
in Arizona, especially on this route, have obliterated the desert, made
50

it into one of the garden spots of the sunny south, and the land of
perpetual sunshine and good health.
We will shortly be on the main line of the Southern Pacific Rail-
road and practically the only irrigated section from San Antonio to
the Salt River Valley. Those familiar with conditions in the West
know there is nothing will advance a community more rapidly than
co-operation with the railroad, as it displays its resources in that way
to the thousands. We need new blood and new money to bring us
to the place we would like to see attained while we of the present
day are alive, able and ready to appreciate its vast benefits.
There is not one instance here where a diligent worker had to
return his place to the original owner, not one case on record where
acreage has had to be foreclosed because of non-payment of principal.
Doesn't this mean that our values are constantly increasing and that
we are above all, prosperous and industrious?
We have a wonderful country in an archaeological as well as in
an agricultural sense, evidences of which are continually being dis-
covered, as it is continually being proven that we can raise something
a little bit better than our neighbor, some fruit, vegetable or berry,
all of which demonstrates that we are still in our infancy, and have
not yet realized what a vast opportunity is ours. Nor shall we until
we have cut up many of our larger holdings in order that we may
derive all the benefits possible from this wonderful soil and climate.

Cochise County
By Joseph H. Gray, Secretary of Warren District Commercial Club.
With an extent of 6147 square miles, equal to the area of Con-
necticut and Rhode Island combined ; with rugged mountain ranges
that are the storehouses of inestimable mineral wealth ; with broad
and extending valleys wherein are ranges o'er which roam thousands
of cattle, and which are dotted with an ever-increasing number of
ranches, in the southeastern corner of Arizona, lies Cochise County
which leads the state in wealth and disputes with Maricopa County
the premiership in population. In assessed valuation it contains one-
fifth of the wealth of the whole state, while its population, which in
1910 was 35,591, is now conservatively estimated to be in excess of
40,000. Its assessed valuation of $38,000,000, gives a per capita
wealth of $950 for each man, woman and child within its confines.
As Arizona leads the nation in production of copper, Cochise Coun-
ty leads Arizona, producing one-half of the total output of that metal,
while the Warren District alone produces more than one-third of the
state's output. While mining is the chief and largest industry, cattle
raising is of great importance and agriculture is making such vast
strides that it promises in the near future to rank second only to min-
ing. Settlers are rapidly taking up all of the available government
land and by the development of underground w r ater supplies and the
practice of intensive farming are developing the rich fertile lands of
the county into garden spots, building up substantial homes, and gath-
ering into agricultural communities w r hile the industry is still in its
infancy. Where formerly all was cow country now are hundreds of
ranch homes ranging from the most modest to substantial dwellings
with large outbuildings and modern farming equipment so that the
lower lands of Cochise county are in a transition period. As the hills
have been only scratched over in the search for minerals so also have
the valleys been little more than touched in proving their possibilities
for agriculture and yet the results promise as much for the one as
the other when equal development has been achieved.
Topographically Cochise County is divided from south to north by
three mountain systems which separate three great valleys. The west-
erly mountain system is composed of three ranges, the Whetstone,
Huachucas and Mules, the great Warren District being situated in the
latter range, surrounding Bisbee the metropolis of the county. Far-
ther east are the Dragoons and still farther east the Swisshelms and
the Chiricahuas. In the mountains of the county in the early days
were the strongholds of the fierce and bloodthirsty Apaches and from

these Geronimo and his braves waged relentless warfare upon the
pioneers until themselves hunted down by government regulars and
volunteers from among the early day settlers.
The three valleys are the San Pedro on the west, Sulphur Springs
in the center and San Simon on the east. In the San Simon, at San
Simon, and in the San Pedro at Land, artesian flows of water have
already been developed, while experiments in that direction are now
in progress in the Sulphur Springs Valley, which is settling more rap-
idly than any other section. In all of these valleys the climate is un-
surpassed, the land is most fertile and the magic touch of water is all
that is required to make them blossom and produce. The putting
down of wells, the erection of windmills and pumping plants in all
directions is bringing this about.
On the foothills are luxurious growths of nutritious grasses during
most of the months of the year and here and in the valleys roam the
herds of cattle owned by individuals, firms and corporations, bringing
in revenues mounting to millions each year. These foothills are also
susceptible of cultivation into vineyards and orchards, producing fine
grapes and peaches that excel any others grown in the west.
It is in the Mule Mountains that the greatest mineral resources of
Cochise County have been developed. From the Warren Mining Dis-
trict there are being shipped daily for reduction 6,000 tons of ore by
three companies, the Copper Queen, the Calumet and Arizona, and
the Shattuck Arizona Companies, the former having been an active
producer since the early eighties of the last century. In this district
there are hundreds of miles of underground workings and yet the
extent of the ore deposits remain undetermined beyond the fact that
they still contain vastly more metal than has been extracted within the
past thirty years and that even then the end is not in sight.
For many years copper was the only metal to receive attention in
the Warren District but recently important deposits of rich lead-
silver ore have been developed and are now being mined and shipped
for reduction. The importance of these mines as well as the porphyry
deposits is now manifest and these w r ill from now on receive deserved
attention. In addition to this there is a large placer area at the
southerly end of the district which contains 60 cents in gold to the
cubic yard and this requires only the solution of a cheap method of ex-
traction to become an added source of available w r ealth.
Although there are but three actively producing mining companies
in the district there are many mining claims on which development
work has progressed sufficiently to indicate valuable deposits and to
warrant assertion that further development is all that is necessary to
bring them to production.
The Johnson-Dragoon District is another important mineralized
section of Cochise County situated in the same general mountain sys-
tem but in the northwesterly corner of the county. Here there are
WHO'S WHO IN ARIZONA 55
now half a dozen producing properties with more than a dozen others
in well advanced stages of development and scores of claims that have
undergone only preliminary exploration and work.
Pearce, Courtland and Gleeson are located in the central moun-
tain system, and are all producers. At the first mentioned is located
the Commonwealth, which has given up $38,000,000 in silver and is
being further developed with every indication that millions remain to
be extracted. Courtland and Gleeson both have their producing
mines, making large shipments to the smelters. Courtland is a copper
camp and Gleeson produces silver as well.
In the Chiricahuas and the Swisshelms, the easterly system of moun-
tains, are producing and partially developed mining properties as well.
There are numbers of these in the vicinity of Paradise especially. Dos
Cabezas promises to become prominent in copper production in the
near future.
Bisbee, the largest and most important city of Cochise County, has
a population of 13,000 and with its suburbs, all connected with it by
electric street railroads, the population is more than 18,000. This
city with its unincorporated suburbs forms the Warren District and
pays one-third of the taxes of the county. It is essentially a mining
community but at the same time affords the facilities, improvements
and advantages of the modern city. It is the most populous area of
the same size in Arizona as well as the most wealthy. Its monthly
payroll amounts to $750,000 and its business and trade importance is
commensurate. Here the underground worker's lowest wage is $3.75
per day and other labor, as well as clerical work, is proportionately re-
warded. No Mexican labor is employed underground and American
labor predominates throughout the district. The chief foreign ele-
ment to be found in the district is Slavonian and this labor is as well
paid as is the American for the same class of work.
In its early days Bisbee was known as Mule Gulch and first at-
tained notice about thirty years ago when it was merely a prospectors'
camp of a few shacks and tents. Here, up among the rugged moun-
tains the Copper Queen company developed a mine, and others fol-
lowed until there grew up a great mining center. On the only level
streets business houses were built, warehouses constructed, office build-
ings erected, while the residential districts spread up the hills and
climbed to points along the mountain sides, reached sometimes by
roads, more often by trails and at other times by flights of steps. The
result is a city that in appearance is unique. Shacks gave place to
handsome buildings of brick and stone, charming homes replaced the
miners' cabins, dives and rookeries made way for churches, libraries,
lodge buildings, Y. M. C. A. buildings, a Y. W. C. A., school houses
and other public improvements. Water was piped and pumped from
Naco, nine miles away, instead of being packed in skins on burro back.
The railroad entered and supplanted the pack train. The smelter was

moved to Douglas, 35 miles away, and smoke and sulphur fumes
were thus eliminated. Electric lights and gas supplanted candles and
smoky oil lamps, paved streets appeared, a subway system carried off
the flood waters of the rainy season and devastation which had before
been not infrequent was made impossible. After several destructive
fires one of the best fire departments in Arizona resulted from im-
provements and a city water supply for fire purposes was created.
For these municipal improvements hundreds of thousands of dollars
were expended and permanent benefits therefrom were obtained.
At an altitude of 5300 feet at the railroad station Bisbee enjoys a
cooler climate in summer than do the cities of the valleys, while the
surrounding mountains in close proximity effectually shelter it from
the cold blasts of winter as well as from dust storms. The average
mean temperature for the past twenty years has been 60.1 degrees,
the average coldest month, January, is 45.3, and the average month
of July, the warmest of the year, is 75.3, while the precipitation in
the same period has been 17.96 annually. The result is a climate of
singular health giving properties and despite the fact that accidents
in mines are at times unavoidable the death rate in the Warren Dis-
trict is lower than in any other section of the state. Despite this fact
Bisbee has been too busy with mining and with business affairs to
enter the ranks of health resorts and today it takes pride in the fact
that its pre-eminence is as a copper producing center.
In culture, education and socially the city is at the forefront. There
is a larger proportion of college bred men in its limit than can be
found outside of college cities of the same population. All churches
are represented, all lodges also, and the Elks, Masons, Moose and
Knights of Columbus all own their homes, as do the Woman's Club
and the Country Club. A fine library and reading rooms, open to all
of the public, is supported by the Copper Queen company. Both the
Copper Queen and the Calumet and Arizona companies have their
medical corps, their dispensaries and their hospitals, where the most
modern equipment is to be found. Of the lodges it is a notable fact
that the Elks built a new home on the site of the one that had been
destroyed by fire and paid off $34,000 of indebtedness in two and one-
half years.
Lowell is the nearest and the largest suburb of Bisbee, ten minutes
distant by street railway, situated to the south, and in a more open loca-
tion. Here are the two hospitals, handsome business houses, and it
has its own bank and theater. Lowell is closer to more mine shafts
than Bisbee, and through its independence avoids the payment of
municipal taxes.
Warren is the residential suburb of Bisbee. Here, on a gradually
sloping plateau, commanding a view of mountains on the one side and
valley on the other, are handsome homes, surrounded by lawns, shrub-

ben", trees and flowers and in reach of Bisbee in twenty minutes by-
electric railway w r ith half hour service. Here are the offices of the
Calumet and Arizona company, charming Vista Park, and close by
the Country Club with its spacious home, its nine hole golf course,
tennis courts, rifle range and traps for the shotgun experts. At War-
ren water and electric light are both furnished by the mining com-
pany. It has, as has Lowell also, its own school building, all of the
district being in the Bisbee School District for which there is now be-
ing erected an $80,000 high school building.
Tombstone, replete with historic interest, picturesquely located with
a magnificent outlook, is the county seat of Cochise County. It was
discovered in 1878, before there was a Cochise County, by Edward
Scheffelin, and was long known as one of the most famous mining
camps of the country. Millions of dollars of wealth it produced until
the problem of unwatering the workings caused a shut down by the
operating company which must continue until that problem has been
solved.
Willcox is the largest town in the north of the county on the
Southern Pacific Railroad, and is the center of a growing agricultural
district as well as an important cattle shipping point. Other towns
of the north are Dos Cabezas, Cochise and Bowie ; of the south Naco,
important as being the gateway to the Cananea District in Mexico and
railroad junction for the El Paso and Southwestern Railroad and the
Cananea Railroad ; Benson on the Southern Pacific and Southwestern
Railroads and important as an agricultural and possible oil center;
and Fort Huachuca, the government military post. Up the Sulphur
Springs Valley is Courtland, important for its mines and surrounding
ranches, while numerous smaller settlements are rapidly growing up
in its eighty miles of length and twenty miles of breadth with the
spread of agriculture.
In addition to its natural w r ealth and possibilities, Cochise boasts
of its good roads and its school system. There are more miles of good
roads than can be traversed at all seasons of the year than in any other
county of the state, and these systems are being each year extended.
It is traversed by the state highway and by two of the proposed Na-
tional Highways, these passing through Douglas, Bisbee and Tomb-
stone, and being connected up with other points.
The public schools of Cochise County, in the 65 school districts, are
supported by an annual expenditure of over $200,000, and rank with
the best in the land. There are in attendance 4500 scholars who are
instructed by 200 teachers, the average salary for men being $111.75,
and for women $83.81. As fast as occasion requires new school dis-
tricts are created, new buildings erected and more teachers engaged so
that the progress of education keeps pace with the growth of popula-
tion in all parts of the county.

Douglas
By Edward P. Grindell
In the southeastern corner of Arizona, on the borderline between
the United States and Mexico, is Douglas, a modern city, now but
ten years old.
Situated in the center of the greatest mineral district in the world,
and having good railroad facilities, Douglas is the natural location for
the great smelters that are now in operation and in course of con-
struction in that city. In the center of a rich, fertile valley, its loca-
tion permits of the building of a city second to none in Arizona.
Douglas is the one, large borderland city between El Paso on the east
and Los Angeles on the west. Its position commercially, politically,
and geographically, is strategic. Cochise is the most thickly populated
county in Arizona, has the most complete system of roads and rail-
ways, and the largest output of precious and commercial metals in the
new State, as well as the heaviest investment of capital, local and
interstate.
Ten years ago Douglas was an uninhabited patch in the Sulphur
Springs Valley. The present population is about 12,000 happy and
industrious people. The public buildings, office blocks, banks,
schools, churches, and mercantile establishments are all substantially
built, principally of brick or stone. The schools are of the best.
Douglas is on the main line of the El Paso & Southwestern R. R.,
with branch lines running south into Mexico, eighty miles to Naco-
zari, and north through the Sulphur Springs Valley. The Southern
Pacific R. R. has had a survey into Douglas for some time to connect
with their lines from the south coast of Mexico.
Arizona leads the districts of the United States in the production
of gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc. The Douglas smelters treat
over 50% of the state's output of copper, besides receiving thousands
of tons of ore from Mexico for smelting. The combined output of
the Douglas smelters is nearing 200,000,000 Ibs. of copper bullion a
year, making Douglas one of the greatest smelter cities in the world.
Within a radius of one hundred miles of Douglas there are hundreds
of small mines that during their development ship to the Douglas
smelters thousands of tons of rich ores that in many cases pay the ex-
penses of the development of the mine. Many of these properties
lack only capital to bring them into the class of big producers. Doug-
las is headquarters for the mining men of the Southwest, both Mexico
and Arizona, and serves as a supply point for these smaller mines.
Merchandise from the Douglas stores is shipped by rail and pack
trains hundreds of miles into the wilderness of Mexico, and this Mexi-
can business is a big item in the trade of the Douglas merchant. One
mile from the city, across the Mexican line, is the interesting town of
62

Agua Prieta, a valuable port of entry for the Mexican Government,
which during the recent civil war was a point of much contention.
The Gadsden Hotel at Douglas is one of the finest to be found in
the west, and offers every convenience to the traveler. Splendid
street car service, automobile roads, country club and golf links fur-
nish the tourist with conveniences difficult to equal in the ordinary
western town. It is but a short distance and easy ride to the moun-
tains on either side of the valley, where can be found running streams,
immense timbers, rugged mountain peaks, and beautiful picnic and
camping grounds. The city is on the main line of the transcontinental
automobile travel.
All secret societies have lodges in Douglas. The Elks have a well-
equipped home for the comfort of their members.
The city is located upon flat, level ground, with plenty of room to
grow in every direction. It has a magnificent view, the background in
every direction being the mountains, rich in all the w r onderful coloring
characteristic of the rugged hills of the Southwest.
Douglas is not only prosperous now, but is looking forward to
greater things, one of which is the development of the Sulphur Springs
Valley to the north. This valley is being settled as fast as settlers can
make their location, put in pumping plants and build their homes.
Some wonderful results in crop production have been shown in the few
years that farming has been carried on in this vicinity. The soil is
rich, the water pure, soft and unlimited in supply, while the climate
is such that the farmer can work out doors every day in the year.
This valley is fast becoming a home for the small rancher. With a
farming background and a vast mineral wealth, Douglas is fast be-
coming the garden city and ideal home town of Arizona. The city is
new, there are no old buildings to mar the beauty of the principal
streets. It is built for the future all her streets, street car lines,
public buildings, water works, sewer systems, telephone system, hotels
everything is built for permanence and for a city of many times its
present population. The banks of Douglas, with over a million and a
half of deposits, are among the solid financial institutions of the west.
Douglas is young, and offers inducements to men in many lines of
work to come there and live. It is the ideal city with which to be
associated and grow up.

Yavapai County
Malcolm Fraser, Secretary Chamber of Commerce
YAVAPAI COUNTY, "Mother of Arizona counties," formerly com-
prised nearly the whole of Northern Arizona, a territory larger than
Indiana. Its area is now 8,160 square miles, about the same as that
of the state of New T Jersey.
The principal resources of Yavapai County are mining, stock rais-
ing and agriculture. It is the second largest county in the state of
Arizona in the production of gold, third in copper, second in cattle
and sheep and first in horticulture.
The Arizona Consolidated Smelting Company, at Humboldt, and
the United Verde Copper Company, at Jerome, are the principal
smelters in Yavapai County. Mining, w r hich has been dull for sev-
eral years, owing to the drop in the price of copper, is reviving. A
recent very rich strike of copper ore in the Commercial Mining Com-
pany's property at Copper Basin, near Prescott, may give rise to the
construction of another large smelter here. To care for the produc-
tion of his great mine, ex-Senator W. A. Clark, the fortunate owner
of the United Verde Copper Company, is building a new town and
smelter at Clarkdale, near Jerome, in the Verde Valley, to which a
railroad has been constructed from Cedar Glade, on the Santa Fe,
Prescott & Phoenix line between Ash Fork and Phoenix. This new
smelter, like the one at Humboldt, will treat custom ores.
At the First Arizona State Fair, Phoenix, 1912, Yavapai County
made a clean sweep of the horticultural prizes, taking practically all
the individual and special prizes for her orchardists. The number
of blue and red ribbons taken totaled 185, being more than twice as
many as were received by all the other counties exhibiting. Yavapai
also took the silver cup for the best county exhibit and more than
$500 in cash prizes.
The advent of scientific soil culture ("dry- farming") in Yavapai
County, Arizona, was only two years ago. The first impetus re-
ceived by the farmers of this county came through experts brought
to the towns by the Prescott Chamber of Commerce and the Santa Fe
Railway. Our farmers received enough practical suggestions from
these experts to enable them, in 1912, to double their harvests, com-
pared with those of 1910. Yavapai exhibits made in the Colorado
Springs and Lethbridge Dry-Farm congresses, in 1911-1912, which
won many first prizes against the world, further enheartened our
farmers to plant additional areas.
The results of this campaign of education have been two-fold:
They have greatly improved the grasp of our local farmer and en-
hanced his confidence in his land, and they have brought to the at-
66

tention of the outside world the fact that there are great areas in
Yavapai County, which can be bought cheaply or homesteaded, upon
which profitable crops yearly may be produced.
Over 2,000 more acres of corn were planted in 1912 than in 1911.
A conservative estimate of the production per acre is placed at twenty-
five bushels. While this would not look unusual to the average
farmer of the corn-belt states, it should be noted that much of the
land on which this corn was grown was broken for the first time in
the winter of 1911; also, that our farmer gets two cents a pound
for his corn and other grains.
Potatoes in Williamson, Skull and Thompson valleys yielded
splendid harvests. This crop can now be said to be out of the experi-
mental stage, so far as northern Arizona is concerned. All our pota-
toes are grown without irrigation, the average rainfall for the past
thirty years in these valleys, sixteen inches, having proved ample to
mature all the crops which can be grow T n in the temperate zone.
Yavapai County enjoys the best all-year-round climate to be found
in the Southw r est. The altitude of the county averages one mile.
Life in the open is possible for at least ten months of the year, and
blankets are necessary every night of the 365.
The principal town of Yavapai County is Prescott, population
6,000, altitude 5,347 feet, situated in quite a thickly-w T ooded pin>_
area. The temperature is pleasant at all seasons of the year. The
hottest months, July and August, are thoroughly enjoyable, w y hiie
the winter days are mild and sunny. The summer nights are de-
liciously cool, and a blanket always is requisite. The maximum sum-
mer temperature is about 95 to 98 degrees F., and the mean tempera-
ture for the months of July and August is 71.6 and 71.2 degrees, re-
spectively. The mean temperature for the coldest months, December
and January, is 37.7 and 35.1 respectively, while the maximum for
these months is about 70 degrees. Frequently the thermometer drops
nearly to zero for a day or two about the end of December. The
average annual rainfall at Prescott is 17.12 inches, falling chiefly in
short, sharp showers in the summer season. In the winter there is
occasionally a slight fall of snow, which, under the influence of the
bright sunshine soon disappears. The percentage of sunshine in
Prescott is very high. In 1909 there were 241 clear days, 74 partly
cloudy and 50 cloudy. In 1910 there were 265 clear days, 55 partly
cloudy and 45 cloudy.
One may get a clearer conception of the mountain climate of north-
ern Arizona with that of other well-known mountain resorts. Vaughn,
in the Montreal Medical Journal, says: "The climate of Prescott
challenges comparison with that of Denver and Colorado Springs.
Thirty feet higher than Denver, and 750 feet lower than Colorado
Springs, it has an annual mean temperature of 53 degrees, or some
three degrees higher than both.

Gila County
By A. W. Sydnor, County Immigration Commissioner.
GILA COUNTY, with an area of 4,542 square miles, almost as great
as that of the State of Connecticut, has vast natural wealth that
with the coming of more railroads and good wagon roads will make
it one of the most favorable to the wants of the homeseeker. Its
resources, like most of the other counties of the State, are varied, and
as yet have been but meagrely developed. The northern part of
the county has five mining districts, where the wealth of the ore
deposits has been proven, and these are awaiting only more adequate
means of transportation to enable them to rank first as producers of
copper, gold and silver. Here also an immense cattle range affords
sustenance to about 50,000 head of live stock, and thousands of
acres of virgin timber, in w r hich is included large forests of pine, are
standing. This large region, commonly spoken of by the people
of the southern part as the "Payson country," contains a rain belt, in
which hundreds of acres are under cultivation without irrigation.
Many varieties of fruits and vegetables are here grown to supply
the markets of Globe, Roosevelt and Phoenix. This land is situated
just north of Payson, a town of about 200 population, located one
hundred miles northwest of Globe, and in the northern part of the
great Tonto basin. In nearly all the valleys of this basin are found
private irrigation schemes, by means of which numerous tracts of
land are made to produce fruits, vegetables and grains.
Gila County lies in east central Arizona. It was formed from
portions of Maricopa and Final counties in 1881, since when a small
strip has been added on the north from Yavapai. It is surrounded
on all sides by stately and rugged mountains whose peaks are cov-
ered with snow many months of the year. On the south are the Final
Mountains whose summits are covered with pine, and on the west
the Superstitious, Four Peaks, and Mazatzal Mountains form the
natural boundaries.
Gila County is rich in the wonders of nature, the most noted is the
Natural Bridge on Pine Creek, in the northern portion rivalling in
beauty the Natural Bridge of Virginia. It spans Pine Creek at a
height of 200 feet, and the walls of the canyon rise above it 700 feet
on each side. The bridge is of lime formation, and the inside of the
great arch, 250 feet across, is worn by water as smooth as though
chiseled by the trained hand of the artisan. The top of the arch is
nearly 400 feet wide and 1,000 feet long across the canyon, and at
the thinnest part not more than six feet through. Near the center
of the arch is a hole large enough to admit the body of a man, and
through this one can look down into the crystal pool below. The
climate is exceedingly mild and a wonderful variety of vegetation
70

exists there, trees, shrubs, vines and plants, some of which are quite
rare. The vicinity abounds in fossils and shells, and wherever mois-
ture penetrates the rocks beautiful stalactites are formed. Beneath
the bridge are numerous caves which are lined with these pendant
cones resembling huge icicles.
The famous Globe-Miami mining district is located in Gila
County and here are found some of Arizona's most productive cop-
per mines. In the early days gold and silver were the chief metals
sought in Gila County, and the mining of copper did not commence
until the late seventies. Since then, however, the amount of copper
mined has been constantly increasing and today the output of this
district does much to give the State the position it holds at the
head of copper producing areas of the United States. To the
southwest of Globe the El Capitan zone has good deposits of both
silver and copper, and between the Old Dominion and Black War-
rior mines, in the Lost Gulch district, rich veins of free-milling ore
have recently been found. Recent assays of ore from the property
of the Lost Gulch United Mines Company show gold values to
almost $300 a ton. In the northern mineral belt, including the
Mazatzal, Green Valley, Gun Creek, Houdon and Ellison mining
districts, development work is being done on a small scale, and in
the former gold, silver and copper have been found. The Mogollon
Mountains extend into the northern part of the County, and are said
to contain large coal deposits.
During the past year wonderful improvements of various kinds
have been made within the borders of Gila County, and here the
Good Roads movement has received a decided impetus. The
Ocean to Ocean Highway will run by the Roosevelt Dam, and
already one of the finest highways in the country has been built
from the dam to Globe, while the towns of Hayden and Winkle-
man, both in Gila County, will soon be connected with Globe by
means of highways now being built by convict labor. With
the building of the San Carlos Dam and other improvements, either
planned or under way, the current year will mark an important
era in the physical improvement of the County. Railroads and bet-
ter highways mean much for Gila County, and the people believe
that a good road is one of the best assets a County can have, and
the Gila Supervisors are among the most wideawake boosters in
Arizona on this subject. They have been ready and willing to do
their share toward the development of the State Highways.
The county seat of Gila is Globe, which has a population of 10,000
and is one of the largest mining towns of the state. It is situated 75
miles east of Phoenix. Globe has churches of all leading denomina-
tions, three banks, two theaters, and electric, gas and water plants.
I here are two newspapers, The Republican and the Record, the latter
one having been but recently established by some of the city's repre-

sentative men. Globe is one of the largest and most progressive
cities in Arizona. The next town in both size and importance is
Miami, also a very thriving mining town, which is situated on the
A. E. R. R., ten miles west of the county seat. Though having had
but a few years of existence, Miami has made wonderful progress
in every particular. Here are two weekly newspapers, The Messen-
ger and The News, and the Daily Silver Belt. The town has also
three churches, two banks and a theater. Other towns of importance
are Hayden and Winkleman, which are also dependent upon the min-
mining industry and are rapidly improving.
Between Globe and Miami there is a good railroad, a branch of
the Arizona Eastern, and excellent automobile service, and recently
a franchise has been granted for the building of an electric line be-
tween the two towns. Between Phoenix, the state capital, and
Globe is splendid automobile service, and passengers may leave
either place after breakfast and reach their destination in the early
Scene on Road Between Safford and Globe
afternoon, the route being by Roosevelt Dam and through scenery
which cannot be excelled in the country. The Kelsey stage line,
which has plied between Globe and Kelvin for many years, connect-
ing with the Arizona Eastern at Ray Junction, has been modernized
by the addition of several automobiles, and during the past year has
not missed a trip. The veteran stage driver, "Bill Kelsey," drives
the automobile with the same dexterity as he did the stage coach,
which almost precludes the possibility of a mishap.
It is confidently expected that within the next few months the
district about Payson will be traversed by railroads and highways,
which will greatly enhance the desirability of this section as a resi-
dence place, and, all in all, it is the hope of the people of this
county that Gila will eventually, because of its many advantages of
resource and beauty, become the most populous and wealthy county
of Arizona.

Coconino County
By Edgar A. Brown
THROUGHOUT ARIZONA there is a large amount of building
done during the year. There is a great demand for lumber
and in the northern part of the state, vast amounts of virgin timber
are found. The county of Coconino may well be called the home
of the lumber industry of the state, as the four greatest mills in the
southwest are located in this county. The Arizona Lumber Com-
pany has been among the great wealth producers of the state for
many years and has turned out enough lumber to build as many
Babbitt Brothers' Trading Post
buildings as are at present standing in the entire state. The members
of the firm, progressive, wideawake business men, have been promi-
nent in the industrial life of the state, and have done much toward
the upbuilding of Arizona. They are interested also in other in-
dustries, including sheep and cattle raising, and the same interests
which control the Arizona Lumber Company are heavy stockholders
in the Greenlaw Lumber Company, which has a large mill near
Flagstaff.
The Saginaw and Manisteo Lumber Company has been most
successful since it was established several years ago at Williams, one
of the progressive towns of the northern tier of counties. The man-
agement has been in the hands of capable men who understand both
the manufacture and sale of lumber, and the company has been a
success from the start. This industry pays to the people of Coconino
\V H O S \V H O
a large amount of money each year in wages and for supplies, and
otherwise brings into the channels of trade a large amount of money.
The lumber men and mill men are among the best citi/.ens, and a
majority of them o\vn their own homes in the county.
The Flagstaff Lumber Company is a new concern, but it is fast
forging to the front. The men who have charge of the mill are also
heavy stockholders and the large majority of the stockholders are
residents of Coconino county. The company handles all kinds of
lumber and supplies the trade in a number of Arizona towns.
Large tracts of timber still remain uncut in the county and it is
expected that the mills will be supplied for a score of years from
the forests contained in Coconino county.
For years Coconino county has been one of the greatest stock
producing counties in the state. The sheep and cattle raised in that
section are among the finest in Arizona, and many fortunes have
been made within the borders of this county. One of the most
pleasing features of the county is the fact that a majority of the men
who have made their fortunes here make their home in Flagstaff,
which is often called the "City of Millionaires." The great depart-
ment store of Babbitt Brothers, which has been evolved from a mod-
est beginning, furnishes supplies to the entire northern section of
the state and the products of their ranches and slaughter house
are used over the entire state, the excellence of the articles having
developed for them a home market.
At Flagstaff, the county seat, is situated the Northern Arizona
Normal School, which under the direction of Dr. R. H. H. Blome
has increased not only in efficiency and thoroughness, but has largely
increased its membership.
In addition to its vast lumber industry Coconino is one of the
greatest sheep raising sections of the state, and there a specialty is
made of the finest breeds. There is also great manufacturing possi-
bilities afforded by the waterfalls near the Grand Canyon, \vhere
it would be possible to generate an immense power.
Within the confines of Coconino are some of the state's most won-
derful natural curiosities, among which are the Grand Canyon, one of
the natural wonders of the world, Sunset Crater, Ice Caves, Lava
Beds, and the lofty San Francisco Mountains snow topped the year
round. There also are situated the cliff dwellings, one of the ancient
curiosities, and at Flagstaff is situated the famous Lowell Observa-
tory.
Although sparsely settled, apart from the two towns of Flagstaff
and Williams, the great resources of Coconino seem to insure for it an
increase in population and that in the near future the hills and
valleys of the entire section will be dotted with the cottages and
ranch homes of the new residents who have come to Arizona to
carve their fortunes from this attractive portion of the new state.

Yuma County
By J. H. Westover
YUMA COUNTY, one of the four original sub-divisions of the Terri-
tory of Arizona ,has been almost totally dependent on mining and cat-
tle raising as sources of revenue, but with the installation of the Yuma
project, one of the greatest of irrigation projects, it is confidently ex-
pected that its agricultural possibilities will be thoroughly developed,
and fanning assume the place as one of the county's resources that it
can only where there is the amount of sunshine and growing w r eather
that Yuma County affords. This land in its natural state is compara-
tively worthless, the rainfall at Yuma being only 2.50 inches per
annum, but supplied with abundant water by irrigation, it be-
comes the most fruitful in the world. The Yuma Valley and the
South Gila Valley and the Yuma Mesa are parts of the Gadsden pur-
chase, having been acquired by the United States from Mexico shortly
after the close of the Mexican war, at which time the boundary line
between the two countries was definitely and permanently fixed. That
part of the Yuma project lying north of the Gila river and on the
Arizona side of the river were acquired from Mexico by conquest, in
the war of 1847-48. These five parcels of land, the Indian reserva-
tion on the California side of the river, the North Gila, the South
Gila, the Yuma Mesa and the Yuma Valley on the Arizona side of
the Colorado, make up the Yuma project, or the land which is to be
irrigated by water taken from the Colorado at Laguna dam.
The greatest development under the Yuma project has taken place,
up to this time, in the Yuma Valley, that part of the project lying im-
mediately south of the town of Yuma. This valley contains some
53,000 acres. It extends from the corporate limits of Yuma to the
Mexican line, twenty-one miles down the river, and is bounded on the
west by the Colorado, and on the east by the mesa. Practically all of
this land is in private ownership. There is some school land which
can be leased from the state, and a few T scattered small tracts of gov-
ernment land and Indian holdings.
Since the completion of the siphon, under the Colorado river, and
the turning of the water through that giant concrete tube, June 28,
1912, gravity water has been furnished by the Reclamation Service to
those farms and to all others that were ready to receive the water.
The water is now cheap and abundant for this valley. Dozens of
farmers are engaged in clearing and levelling their land, and it is be-
lieved that 15,000 acres of land in the Yuma Valley will be in culti-
vation during the season of 1913. More land will be brought in, year
by year, until every acre of this unit of the project will be contributing
its part to the fruitfulness and prosperity of the valley. The Yuma
Valley part of the project will be the first of the project on the Ari-
zona side of the river to be completed.

WHO S WHO
The land in the North Gila Valley, about 15,000 acres, is largely
in private ownership, although there is some government land which
will be thrown open to entry when the project is completed. These
lands are now receiving water from Laguna dam, and the development
of this beautiful valley is well under way.
The lands covered by this project are most favorably situated for
agriculture, the soil and climate being unsurpassed, and the water
supply unlimited. In the bottom lands the following products may be
grown with excellent yields: barley, corn, alfalfa, wheat, milo maize,
alfalfa seed, potatoes, onions and other vegetables, cantaloupes, Egyp-
tian and upland cotton. It is also a most favorable dairy country.
Figs, dates, grapes, and various fruits are grown in small quantities,
the returns indicating that good results can be obtained with this
class of crop, and it is anticipated that the areas now covered by these
products will be extended.. At the present time there is one citrus
grove of about 75 acres, on the mesa, producing grape fruit and
oranges of a very high quality. Because of the dry climate, the Ari-
zona trees are remarkably free from scale and other kindred diseases
which affect these growths in less favored spots.
The value of land in this section has already increased rapidly.
That worth from $15 to $50 an acre seven years ago is now worth
from $60 to $200, as people realize that the water supply is cheap,
abundant and permanent, and there will be further notable increases
in these values. There are thousands of acres of land in Southern
California on which are gro\vn orange and lemon orchards and wal-
nut groves, that are selling in the open market from $1,000 to $2,500
an acre, and that produce an income that makes the investment attrac-
tive in that high-priced land. The great need of Yuma County is
capital and real farmers.
Of this irrigation project which is to mean so much to the future
of Yuma County, the following by F. L. Sellew, engineer of the pro-
ject, is very comprehensive and to date :
'The Yuma Irrigation Project is one of the results of the Reclama-
tion Act passed by Congress in June, 1902. Developments under way
and now about 75 per cent, completed, provide for the irrigation of
approximately 140,000 acres, 16,000 acres being in California, along
the Colorado river, and the remainder on the opposite side of the
stream, in Arizona. The principal features of the work are : Laguna
Dam, nearly one mile in length, which provides for the diversion of
water from the river about fourteen miles above Yuma; over 400
miles of main and lateral canals, ranging in capacity from 1,700
second-feet to 10 second-feet; an inverted siphon of 14 feet internal
diameter, conveying the water from the main canal, under the Colo-
rado river; numerous canal structures, and some seventy-five miles of
levee for the defense of the bottom lands against the periodic rises of
the stream.

"The water supply from the Colorado river is unfailing; the lowest
known discharge of the stream being 2,700 second-feet, which lasted
but a few days. Seldom is the discharge lower than 5,000 second-
feet for any material period. In freshets the volume rises, at times, to
150,000 second-feet.
"The government works, which control the diversion of water and
its deliver}' to the farms, are of the most permanent and lasting char-
acter. Laguna Dam creates no storage, is merely for the purposes of
diversion and to furnish the means by which silt may be removed from
the water before the supply enters the canals, and later, sluiced back to
the river below the dam. The structure is practically 250 feet broad
across its base, resting upon alluvial deposits of the stream, except at
its ends, where it is firmly connected to the rock abutments. The
down-stream side of the structure is protected from damage by erosive
currents by a substantial apron, composed of rock from one to two tons
in weight. About ten miles below the dam a drop of ten feet occurs,
which is at present accomplished by means of a siphon spillway. Later
a power plant will be constructed at this point from which about
1,200 horse power of electric energy may be developed. Some 2,000
feet above the entrance to the Colorado siphon, a waste-way is con-
structed, leading to the Colorado river. This makes an advantageous
82
WHO S WHO
point of control for the bulk of the project. Control at this point
also allows a uniform quantity to run through the wheels at the
powerhouse above, giving a constant load on the plant.
"This structure was completed in March, 1909. In June of that
year the annual freshet was sending 150,000 second-feet over its crest.
The floods of 1909 and 1912 are probably as large as any that have
ever come down the Colorado River, and it is unlikely that the future
will see them greatly exceeded. The main canal, which originates at
the Arizona end of the structure, provides for but a few thousand acres
of ground above Yuma, crossed by the Gila River. This canal has a
capacity of 250 second-feet, and concrete gates control the various
lateral canals which receive their supply from it. Although the bulk
of the land to be irrigated is in Arizona, the main canal leaves the
dam from the California end, because on this side w r as found the most
favorable route."
The cold wave which swept over the entire Southwest in January,
1913, and did such damage to many orange groves, left the Yuma
orange orchards unscathed, neither the trees nor the fruit having been
damaged in the least. In addition to this evidence that the orange
lands here are absolutely frostless, this freeze demonstrated that the
valley lands under the Yuma project are safe for orange culture. Two
nurseries of orange trees from tw r o to three years old and from three
to five feet high, located in the coldest spots in the valley, passed
through that trying period without damage and the early spring finds
them in full fruit and flower.

Navajo County
By W. H. Clark
NAVAJO COUNTY, located in the northeastern part of the State,
about the center of the Great Colorado Plateau, was created by act
of the Eighteenth Legislature after one of the most bitter fights ever
witnessed in the Territorial Legislature over county division. This
fight was carried to the closing hours of the session, and was used as
a club to prevent the removal of the territorial prison from Yuma.
Navajo County has an area of 9,826 square miles, is about 240
miles from north to south and about 53 miles from east to west. At
the time of its organization, as shown by the tax roll, the total
assessed valuation was $370,000, the population about 4,000, and it
carried an indebtedness of practically $100,000 as a heritage of unrest
from the parent county. Today it has a population of more than
15,000, a valuation of nearly $4,000,000, and an indebtedness of
about $30,000. There are 1,122,968 acres of surveyed, and 393,363
acres of unsurveyed land, making a total of 1,516,331 acres within the
county that are unappropriated, thousands of which are the richest,
choicest and most fertile lands to be found in the Southwest. There
is also plenty of water with which to irrigate these lands, only a
small outlay being required to build storage reservoirs to impound
the waters of the streams and make a large agricultural section in the
heart of the county. An investment in any of these irrigation
projects, all of which are feasible, will bring returns a thousand fold.
The county is simply studded with reservoir sites and abounds with
splendid lands awaiting but the magic touch of capital to develop
them.
About one-third of the county is heavily timbered with yellow
pine, spruce, fir, oak, aspen, cedar and juniper, the first named three
piedominating. The stand of yellow pine is estimated at over
4,000,000,000 feet board measure.
The Navajo Southern Railway Company and the Navajo Lumber
& Timber Company, incorporated under the laws of Arizona, with
headquarters at Holbrook, have recently made the largest purchase
of timber from the Forestry Service and the Department of the In-
terior that has ever been made, and are about ready to place a bond
issue of $2,000,000 for the purpose of building a standard guage
common carrier railway 75 miles long to reach the heart of the timber
belt. Every foot of this railway will be in Navajo County, and
84
W H O S WHO
Sheep in Pasture
the largest mills in the southwest will be constructed to handle the
timber, it being compulsory, according to the government specifica-
tions, to have mills which will cut not less than 50,000,000 feet of
timber each year, the cutting to commence within two years from the
date of the signing of the final contract with the government. The
foregoing development will mean the employment of about 800 per-
sons, and an immense payroll to be distributed throughout the county.
It is estimated that the county school and road funds will be bene-
fited to the extent of $25,000 annually, as 25 per cent of the stumpage
value will revert from the government to those funds.
An irrigation project is now under way, by means of which close
to 50,000 acres of land will be irrigated, and it is thought that work
will commence during 1913.
The Aztec Land & Cattle Company, located near St. Joseph, has
several thousand acres of their lands consolidated, which they are
cutting into small farms and selling on long term payments. Two
artesian wells have recently been struck, one of them flowing water
five feet above the surface. The company sells perpetual water rights
with their lands in this artesian belt.
Dry farming is now being carried on extensively in the higher alti-
tudes of the county, beginning about Snowflake and extending to the
top of the mountains, the acreage increasing every year. Much credit
for this development must be given to the 'State University, as the
experiment station established some years ago near Snowflake has
had much to do with the success of the dry farmer in this county.

Navajo County schools are second to none in the State, and are
growing rapidly. During the fiscal year 1909-1910 the receipts for
school purposes were $25,642.15 and the expenditures $21,291.70;
and during the succeeding fiscal year the receipts were $30,524.91
and the expenditures $29,780.38, which shows that the schools of the
county are enjoying a healthy growth.
The raising of livestock on open ranges is considered the main in-
dustry of the County, and shipments of cattle and sheep annually run
well up into the thousands. In addition, the wool shipments are
enormous.
In the northern part of the county lies the Navajo Indian reserva-
tion and the Moqui (Hopi) reservation, containing quaint and inter-
esting villages that attract people from all parts of the globe to wit-
ness their peculiar religious ceremony known as the Snake Dance,
which occurs each year between the 18th and the 22nd of August.
But before the positive date is announced the sun must cast a shadow
in a given place when shining over the rock, and as the writer under-
stands it they hold the dance a certain number of days after the
shadow is cast.
The weird Painted Desert is another of nature's wonders. It lies
to the west in the northern part of the county, and must be seen to
be appreciated, with its beautiful, shifting scenery. Closing the eyes
for a moment only will cause all the beautiful scenes before one to
change as if by magic. To the east is the wonderful, awe-inspiring,
silent beauty of one of the world's seven wonders, the Petrified For-
ests of Arizona ; and to the south the beautiful virgin pine forests of
the White Mountains, the largest solid area of forestry in the United
States, which will soon be one of the greatest pleasure and recreation
spots of the western country. These forests are becoming famous
for hunting bear, mountain lion, wolf, bob cats, coyotes, deer, turkey
and other smaller game, while the festive, speckled brook trout
abounds in the streams.
The Navajo County of today, with nearly $4,000,000 worth of
assessable property, 15,000 population, with her lumber and coal de-
velopment in view and irrigation projects being promoted, it seems
safe to say will soon be in better shape financially than any other
countv in the State.

Apache County
APACHE COUNTY, situated in the extreme northeastern corner of
the state, was organized in 1879, and in 1881 a portion of the original
Apache was taken to form a portion of Graham, and in 1895 the
present County of Navajo was formed from it. The first settlements
in this section were made about 1876, by Mormons from Utah, on
both sides of the Little Colorado River. The county is a series of
hills, and broad, beautiful, fertile valleys with excellent drainage.
Locations for natural water storage reservoirs are plentiful, and in
the vicinity of St. Johns are a number of private irrigation projects
which are well under way, and there are many fine farms in the
county. It is especially adapted to the production of hay, forage and
grains, and the acreage producing all of these has greatly increased in
the past decade. According to the U. S. Census of 1910, nearly half
the quantity of oats reported grown in Arizona was raised in Apache
County. This report also showed a vast increase in the number of farms
in Apache. This county is also among the large producers of sheep and
cattle. The forests are covered with a heavy growth of tall pine, and
in timber alone the county is worth millions of dollars. Very little of
this timber has been cut, and this industry is yet awaiting the advent
of capital and the transportation facilities necessary to its develop-
ment. The White Mountains furnish the best fishing and hunting to
be found in the Southwest, and annually a large number of people
visit Apache County for the purpose of enjoying these pastimes. The
people of the county are interested in the subject of better highways,
good roads are being built, bridges constructed, and within the past
year an excellent automobile service has been established from Hoi-
brook to St. Johns and Springerville, thus insuring a trip that is a
pleasure, rather than a hardship, as was the case under old condi-
tions. The county seat and largest town in the county is St. Johns,
situated in the center of a rich stock raising section, which has two
churches, an academy, and two weekly newspapers, the Herald and
Apache News. Towns next in importance and size are Concho, Eagar
and Springerville. The public schools of Apache County have flour-
ished, and nearly every settlement boasts its school. Mercantile
houses also exist in the above towns, the most important of which is
the Arizona Co-operative Mercantile Association.
Scattered over the greater portion of Apache County are numerous
ruins of prehistoric people. In the immediate vicinity of St. Johns are
ruins of two large towns which contained probably 3,000 or 4,000
inhabitants each. Near Springerville are others showing the same
characteristics as the former, and all of them display the exercise of
considerable engineering skill.

Mohave County
By Kean St. Charles
MOHAVE COUNTY lies in the northwestern corner of the state and
is one of the four original political divisions into which Arizona was
divided. The Colorado River forms a portion of its western bound-
ary. It contains many mountain ranges and broad valleys. Until
the advent of the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad its only method of com-
munication with the outer world was by means of the Colorado River,
hence its progress was slow. The county is now crossed by the A. T. &
S. F. Ry., and the county seat, Kingman, is 380 miles east of Los
Angeles. Since its organization, in 1864, Mohave County has been
the scene of active mining operations, and mining is still its principal
industry, almost every known metal being found in the mountains,
and even turquoise and other stones are mined. Within Mohave are
located two of the largest and richest gold mines of the world, the
Tom Reed and Gold Road. Lands along the Colorado River, in the
Mohave Valley, grow every semi-tropical fruit. Strawberries can be
raised every month in the year, while watermelons have been kept as
late as Christmas. The lands in the Wallapia Valley will raise crops
of small grain without irrigation, and if irrigated, will produce any
crop known to this latitude. Figs here produce phenomenal crops. The
climate of Mohave is, indeed, delightful. In the mountains it is cool and
delightful during the summer months, while the valleys are not oppres-
sively hot. The town of Kingman was founded in 1883. It lies between
the Wallapai and Cerbat Mountains, 3,400 feet above sea level. It has
an abundance of good water, excellent drainage, and the best climate
to be found in the state. It has two churches, Catholic and Method-
ist, and two banks. It also has a large power plant. Two weekly
newspapers, The Miner and Our Mineral Wealth, are published
here. Chloride is the next town in size, and Oatman and Gold Road
are prosperous camps, populated by men of ability and perseverance.
There is much undeveloped wealth in Mohave's valleys, rich in na-
ture's fertile soil only awaiting moisture to make them yield a golden
harvest, and thousands of acres of land that can be readily reclaimed.
1 hrough an immense gorge in the northern part of the county flows
the mighty Colorado from which could be obtained enough water to
irrigate all the arid land of the state, and there are yet but few irri-
gation canals in the county. Thousands of mines are open to location
in the mountains, and the valleys are rich and unsettled, but with
proper advertising and energy Mohave would soon rank with the best
of counties in population and wealth. The county contains excellent
banking facilities, and stores in each of the larger towns, and public
schools that will compare favorably with any in the state.

Final County
By Thus. F. Weed in, Editor Blade- Tribune, Florence, Arizona.
FINAL COUNTY, although one of the smallest divisions of Arizona,
is looked upon as one of the coming counties, as nature was here par-
ticularly lavish of her favors. Pinal has a wondrous landscape of
mountain and mesa, valley and canyon, with exquisite coloring. On
the higher mountains are forests of pine, oak, ash and walnut.
Through the county run the Gila, the San Pedro, and the Aravaipa,
while on hoth sides of these streams are level stretches of land of
wonderful productive capability and endurance. Then, too, large
areas within the county are impregnated with all the precious metals
and minerals of commercial value. Last, but not least, Pinal is
possessed of a climate semi-tropical in mildness, and unsurpassed in
its health-giving properties, with an atmosphere dry and pure in the
extreme. The total area of Pinal County is about 5,300 square
miles and its population over 10,000.
The mineral district of this county covers at least two-thirds of its
surface area, the greater portion of which has not yet been touched by
the prospector's pick. Yet, the mines of the county have yielded in
gold, silver, lead and copper, a total of $60,000,000. The metals
and minerals exist here in both veins and deposits, and where ex-
plored have proven of great magnitude and value. As the unexplored
surface exhibits the same physical condition and the same evidences
of mineralization, as do those which have been explored, it is rational
to assume that they, too, will prove both extensive and valuable.
Next in importance to the fact that our veins and deposits are ex-
ceptional in magnitude, and productive capabilities, is the character of
the ore they contain. In this feature they are also exceptional. The
major portion of them contain what is commonly called "combination
ores," that is, ores carrying from two to four metals of commercial
value, each in paying percentage. The usual metallic constituent ores
in Pinal are gold, silver, copper and lead certainly an ideal combina-
tion to insure profits. Furthermore, most of these ores carry a suffi-
cient percentage of iron and lime to make them self-fluxing in the
smelting furnace, therefore they can be treated by the fire concentra-
tion process at the minimum cost of smelting.
But the mineral wealth of Pinal County is not limited to the above-
named four metals. Prospecting and mining have been chiefly con-
fined to these metals simply because few prospectors are sufficiently
familiar with the ores of the rarer metals to recognize them in the
field, referring in this connection, to platinum, uranium, nickel, co-
balt, bismuth, tungsten, vanadium, molybdenum, etc., all of which
exist here, but as yet in undetermined quantities. We also have bitu-
minous coal measures, in an undeveloped state, in the Deer Creek

district, but sufficiently prospected to demonstrate that they can be
made profitably productive. The two great mining properties of the
county are the Magma copper-gold-silver property, at Superior, and
the Ray Consolidated copper mines, at Ray.
In the center of Final's mineral area, beginning seven miles east of
Florence, extending thence south to and beyond Casa Grande, west to
and beyond Maricopa Junction, north to the base of the Superstition
Mountain range, and thence west to the Final and Maricopa county
line, is a solid body of surpassingly fertile agricultural land, needing
only water to make it as fruitful as is the delta of the Nile. At
some time in the unwritten past, and long before the present type of
civilized man was privileged to look upon this land of promise, a very
numerous people thrived and prospered here, as is attested by the yet
distinctly visible remnants of their very elaborate canal systems and
auxiliary storage reservoirs. Through the center of this great stretch
of fertile land trails the Gila River, with its 17,000 square miles of
watershed and phosphated water, entirely devoid of deleterious sub-
stances and enriching the soil at each irrigation by the deposit of silt
rich in phosphates, while through its southern portion runs the Santa
Cruz River. The underground waters of the Santa Cruz are suffi-
ciently near the surface, west of the McLellan wash and in the vicin-
ity of Casa Grande and Maricopa stations, to make irrigation by
means of pumping plants feasible and profitable. Probably 50,000
acres could be reclaimed in this manner, through the organization of
pumping plant districts, under a district irrigation law, or through
the installation of individual plants. A number of individual pump-
ing plants are now in course of installation, and some in operation, in
this locality. Several are also in successful operation near Florence.
The normal flow of the Gila River, at the point where it enters this
valley, twelve miles above Florence, is sufficient to irrigate perma-
nently about 25,000 acres of land, according to reports submitted by
James D. Schuyler and John H. Quinton after they had carefully
studied and analyzed the stream flow tables compiled by the Geological
Survey from data obtained by daily measurements made during years
of minimum flow. All this water has been appropriated by small pri-
vate ditches, the O. T. canal, recently completed, and the Final Mu-
tual Irrigation Company's canal, now in course of construction. The
latter canal will have a diversion dam of the Indian weir type, planned
by James D. Schuyler, who is consulting engineer for the builders.
This canal system will be built, owned and operated by the land
owners whose land it will irrigate. The O. T. canal is also a mutual
system, operated on the co-operative plan, and serves about 2,500
acres of land. In planning the diversion dam and head-works for
the Final Mutual Irrigation company's system, Engineer Schuyler
took into consideration the probable early construction of the San
Carlos dam, and designed said works upon a scale that will fully meet
the requirements of the larger project. Recent contour surveys of the
94

Picacho reservoir, now the property of the Final Mutual Irrigation
Company, demonstrate that it can.be enlarged to a storage capacity of
about 65,000 acre-feet of water. It can be safely estimated that the
enlarged Picacho reservoir will irrigate about 15,000 acres of land.
There is no doubt that the San Carlos dam will be constructed in
the near future, as the government has become greatly interested in the
project on behalf of its Pima wards.
The Casa Grande Valley Water Users' Association has also pro-
jected and are surveying a flood water canal, from a point about
twelve miles east of Florence to Casa Grande station, on the Southern
Pacific Railroad. It will be seen, by all the foregoing data, that by
means of canal, storage and pumping systems, fully 200,000 acres of
fertile land can be reclaimed in this valley, if we fully utilize the
various sources of water supply.
In the San Pedro Valley is a large acreage of exceedingly fertile
land that can be reclaimed by river and artesian water, extending from
Dudleyville to the east line of the county. A well at a depth of 800
feet, near Mammoth, struck a strong "gusher" that is furnishing suffi-
cient water to irrigate several hundred acres, thus proving the valley
to be in the artesian belt. The Aravaipa Valley, which comes into
the San Pedro Valley about twelve miles above Winkelman, has an
abundant water supply in the Aravaipa Creek, which flows through
the center of it, and all the lands of this picturesque little valley are
planted to fruit, including navel oranges, lemons, apples, peaches,
pears, apricots, plums, grapes and all kinds of berries. Its fruits are
unsurpassed in size and flavor.
Owing to a rare combination of climatic and soil conditions, the
lands surrounding Florence, and extending to and surrounding Casa
Grande, w r ill produce to perfection oranges, lemons, grape fruit, olives,
figs, nectarines, peaches, apricots, plums, pears, pomegranates, grapes
and all kinds of berries.

Greenlee County
GREENLEE COUNTY, the fourteenth and youngest county in Ari-
zona, was organized from the eastern part of Graham County, the
organization having become effective January 1, 1911. Greenlee is
one of the richest and most populous counties of the State. Its last
assessment showed a valua-
tion of upwards of $12,000,-
000, with vast improvements
and developments under way,
especially by the mining com-
panies operating there. Three
of the greatest mining com-
panies of the State, The Ari-
zona Copper Company, The
Detroit Copper Mining
Company, and The Shannon
Copper Company, have their
holdings in Greenlee Coun-
ty. Although primarily a
mining county, a large num-
ber of cattle are raised in
Greenlee County, and this
industry is being gradually
developed. There is also a
large amount of land under
cultivation, and in the south-
ern part are many fine
ranches, on which alfalfa
hay, grain, fruit and vege-
tables are raised, and for the
latter the towns of Clifton
and Morenci furnish an ex-
cellent market. The Arizona Copper Company has stores in both
these places, and The Phelps Dodge Mercantile Company has a store
at Morenci that will compare favorably with those found in large
cities. Other good stores are to be found throughout the county, and
the banking facilities are splendid. There are also two live news-
papers, The Copper Era and The Duncan Arizonan.
For the transportation of ore from mines to smelter the Shannon
Copper Company has built, at a greater cost per mile than any other
road in the State, a railroad 13 miles long, and the Coronado Railroad,
owned by The Arizona Copper Company, connects the towns of Met-
calf and Clifton. The Arizona & New Mexico Railway also passes
through the county and connects with the Southern Pacific main line.

Clifton, the county seat, has a population of more than 5,000, and
is situated on the line of the Coronado and Arizona & New Mexico
Rys. Morenci, the next town of importance in the county, has also a
population of more than 5,000. Both these towns are dependent upon
the mining and smelting; of copper, and both have excellent lighting,
water and telephone systems, all modern conveniences, and splendidly
equipped high schools, with superior opportunities for education. Each
one also supports a Catholic and a Presbyterian church, two banks,
two good hotels, and two hospitals, the latter maintained by the min-
ing companies whose headquarters are in the county. These towns
are seven miles apart, and arrangements have been made by the cor-
poration which recently received the franchise for an electric road be-
tween Globe and Miami, to build an electric road connecting them
within the next year.
Metcalf, another thriving town of more than 2,000 inhabitants, is
situated six miles from Clifton on the Coronado Railway, in the
heart of the mining district, and upon this industry its inhabitants are
largely dependent. Duncan is the largest town in the farming dis-
trict and the shipping point for the farmers and cattlemen of a large
area. It has a thoroughly good school system, hotel, bank, several
stores and w r eekly paper. Plans are now under way for a highway
from Duncan, on the A. & N. M., to Solomonsville on the A. E. Ry.
Greenlee County needs better transportation facilities, and her
people are working earnestly for better highways. The affairs of the
county are handled by capable officials, its outlook is bright, and the
desirability of Greenlee as a place of residence is constantly being
recognized by persons in search of a permanent home.

The Grand Canyon
/
THE GRAND CANYON OF THE COLORADO lies mostly in Arizona,
though it touches also Utah, Nevada, and California. With its vari-
ous windings and side canyons it is nearly seven hundred miles long,
and in many places over one and one-quarter miles deep, while its
width at the top is from eight to tw r enty miles. Its walls, composed
principally of sandstone, though in places of marble, or limestone, or
volcanic rock, have the appearance, when viewed from the front, of
being perpendicular while they are not. They are generally terraced
in a manner peculiar to the Southwest, and cleft into innumerable
buttes which seem towers and castles, and when the sunshine of that
arid, but enchanted, land falls upon their wondrous domes and battle-
ments, the sight is a revelation that causes strong men to sit down and
weep in speechless awe.
There is no such thing as describing the Grand Canyon, but Charles
Dudley Warner has, in the following, come nearer giving a hint in
words of what one may expect there, than has any one else who has
ever undertaken the task of description :
"In attempting to convey an idea of the Grand Canyon, the writer
can be assisted by no comparison.. The Vermilion Cliffs, the Pink
Cliffs, the White Cliffs surpass in fantastic form and brilliant color
anything that the imagination conceives possible in nature ; and there
are dreamy landscapes quite beyond the most exquisite fancies of
Claude and Turner. The region is full of wonders, of beauties, and
sublimities that Shelly's imaginings do not match in the 'Prometheus
Unbound'. Human experience has no prototype of this region, and
the imagination has never conceived of its forms and colors.
The whole magnificence broke upon us. No one could be prepared
for it. The scene is one to strike dumb with aw r e, or to unstring the
nerves. It w T as a shock so novel that the mind, dazed, quite failed to
comprehend it. All that w y e could comprehend was a vast confusion of
amphitheaters and strange architectural forms resplendent with color.
We had come into a new world. This great space is filled
with gigantic architectural constructions, w r ith amphitheaters, gorges,
precipices, walls of masonry, fortresses, temples mountain size, all
brilliant with horizontal lines of color streaks of solid hues a thous-
and feet in width yellows, mingled white and gray, orange, dull
red, brown, blue, carmine, green, all blending in the sunlight into
one transcendent effusion of splendor. . . . Some one said that
all that was needed to perfect this scene was a Niagara Falls. I
thought what a figure a fall 150 feet high and 3,000 feet long would
make in this arena. It would need a spy-glass to discover it. An
adequate Niagara here should be at least three miles in breadth and
fall 2,000 feet over one of these walls. And the Yosemite ah the

lovely Yosemite. Dumped down into this wilderness of gorges and
mountains, it would take a guide who knew of its existence a long
time to find it. Those who have long and carefully studied the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado do not hesitate for a moment to pronounce it
by far the most sublime of all earthly spectacles."
One can explore the canyon for miles around the rim, finding new
wonders at every step ; and even though seated in one spot a new
canyon appears every hour, as the scene is ever changing. It is possi-
ble to stay a month, travel every hour of daylight, and not thoroughly
realize the canyon. It is, in fact, a canyon in which all the world's
famous gorges could be lost forever.
However, difficulty of access can no longer be advanced as a reason
for Americans not seeing the Grand Canyon, as the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe Railway System has made it possible to reach the Canyon
by rail, the round trip fare
from Williams being $7.50, j
and baggage may be checked
at Williams. The Califor-
nia Limited, a main-line
train, carries a through
sleeper to the Canyon, but
stop overs are allowed on
all tickets going east or
west, and the trip is feasible
any day in the year. Hav-
ing reached the Canyon,
one finds hotel accommoda-
tions that can not be excel-
led in large eastern cities,
the El Tovar and Bright
Angel, and for those who
care to remain longer, fa-
cilities for camping trips
completely equipped and in
charge of experienced
guides. There are also
conveyances for making any
of the numerous trips .-ibout
the Canyon, all of which
are to be had at a reasonable rate. It is also possible to reach the
Canyon by private conveyance from Flagstaff, but this route is not
available in winter, and the great bulk of the travel is by Santa Fe
Railway from Williams.

The Roosevelt Dam
ROOSEVELT DAM, a dam of the arch gravity type, is constructed of
masonry rubble and built into the bed rock of the river, extending to
a height of two hundred and eighty-seven feet. The masonry is fitted
into the canyon sides for a distance of thirty feet or more, and at the
base is one hundred and eighty-five feet thick, narrowing toward the
top until at the crest it is but twenty feet, and the whole being sur-
mounted by a roadway sixteen feet wide in the clear with a stone para-
pet four feet wide on each side. The roadway, connected with the
sides of the canyon by concrete and steel bridges w T hich span the spill-
ways, is lighted by electricity. The length of this roadway over the
spillways and across the top of the dam is nearly a quarter of a mile,
its one side dropping to the water at its various levels and the other
dropping to the river bed two hundred and twenty-five feet below.
In the construction of this dam it was necessary to exercise the most
extreme care. Every stone, some of which weigh thirty tons, was
washed under hydraulic pressure before being put into position. The
stone used is hard, of close texture and gray color. The cement, over
350,000 barrels of which was used in construction, was made on the
ground. Close by the damsite were found deposits of shale and rock,
which it was found could be compounded into a first-class cement,
after proper treatment, so a cement mill was erected on the ground,
and manufacturing begun. This resulted in a saving of approximately
$600,000, largely because the cost of hauling so great a quantity of
cement from the railroad sixty miles away would have been enormous.
To build this great wall, to put a thirty-ton rock in its proper place
with that nicety which goes with good engineering, required consider-
able power. So the first work, after the preliminary surveys were
made, was to plan and build a power canal to generate electricity
which could be utilized to lift rocks, run drills, grind cement, manipu-
late derricks and cable-ways, and do all other odd work.
The engineers went up the Salt River, nineteen miles above the
point where the big dam was to be built, and there built a small diver-
sion weir across the stream. This water was turned into a power
canal, which ended at a point right above the site of the big Roosevelt
Dam. The water was then turned through an inclined penstock tun-
nel, lined with concrete and steel. This tunnel was cut through the
solid rock walls of the canyon. In passing through this tunnel, which
has a fall of two hundred and twenty-six feet, the water operates three
vertical turbines making five hundred revolutions per minute. Here
is generated the power that built the dam, and that is now lighting the
City of Phoenix, seventy-five miles away, also the power used for
street railways and commercial purposes at Phoenix, Mesa, Tempe
and other Salt R : ver Valley towns.

The journey of the water from the Roosevelt Dam to its final distri-
bution on the land is a story of utility. The stream passes from one
power canal to another. Some of these power canals and tunnels are
yet to be developed, but all are included in the project, which is now
fast receiving the finishing touches. Seven miles from Roosevelt Dam
the water will save 7,000 feet of travel, and at the same time develop
3,500 horse power. It returns to the old river bed, and is uninter-
rupted for about twenty miles, when it is directed through another
tunnel 3,500 feet long, where it develops 2,500 horse power before
re-entering the river below. Almost at once it is again taken up and
carried along the rock hill edges for several miles and then dropped a
sheer 100 feet through another set of wheels, w T hich will develop 5,000
horse power, and then follows the river bed until it reaches Granite
Reef Dam, where it is diverted by a great weir, 1,100 feet long and
38 feet high, to the main irrigating canals on the north and south
banks of the river.
In the main canals more power will be developed. On the south
side of the river, two miles from the head of the canal, one-half of the
water is turned into the Consolidated canal, with a drop of thirty feet,
developing about 2,000 horse power in the fall. On the north side of
the main canal, the Arizona, flows without interruption fifteen to
twenty miles, to a point at which about one-half the supply will be
diverted through a new cross-cut canal. The canal carries the water
about four miles along the base of the rocky points to a place where
there will be a drop of 126 feet, the water in the fall developing 3,000
to 5,000 horse power, according to the season. The other half of the
water of the Arizona canal, when it reaches the Arizona falls, a mile
or two aw T ay from the diverting point, will develop about 700 horse
power. On the south side of the river there is a possibility of develop-
ing another 700 horse power. The power generated will be sold at
reasonable rates to the ranchers in the valley.
It will be readily seen that with the great power possibilities of the
project, there is in store for the farmer under this system of reclama-
tion a large revenue, which will surely in time not only cover all
charges for maintenance of the system, but in addition will pay him a
handsome return each year for the money he has invested in his land]
The entire scheme is inseparably associated with the ownership of the
lands, and all the 240,000 acres of land included in the Salt River
Project have a share in the concern, each acre a share and each share
an acre. The government has expended about $9,000,000 on the
project to date, and of this amount about $3,500,000 has been ex-
pended on the building of the Roosevelt Dam.
Nature has been very kind in planning a field for this project. The
land to be watered is almost perfectly level, making irrigation easy.
The course of the water from the storage dam to the level land is
through canyons and rocky gorges, allowing no waste. The great
106
\V H O S W H O
basin that is created by the dam is in among rounded, gently sloping
hills, and is of immense area.
The interior of Arizona is covered with high mountain ranges.
These mountains are mostly covered with timber. The snow that
falls in the winter months in these high places is a source of a great
water supply that feeds the two streams held in check by the Roosevelt
Dam. These two streams, the Tonto Creek and the Salt River, flow-
ing the year round, are the mother streams of all the water carriers in
this great drainage basin. In this basin are giant trees and many won-
derful nature works, natural bridges and beautiful cliffs and mountain
peaks. The altitude varies from 1,950 feet to 11,500 feet above sea
level.
The reservoir lies like a great bird with outstretched wings, cover-
ing the splendid basin created by nature, the wing to the north extend-
ing over the spreading w r aters of the Tonto Creek, the one to the south
covering the stored waters of the Salt River, while the head of the
bird is pointed to the wall which forms the reservoir, and is built in
the neck of the narrow canyon to the w r est.
THE PETRIFIED FORESTS OF ARIZONA.
(By W. H. Clark, Commissioner of Immigration, Navajo County.)
THE PETRIFIED FORESTS OF ARIZONA, sometimes called Fossil
Forests, are located in Apache and Navajo Counties, in the north-
eastern part of the State.
For nearly twenty years continual efforts were made to have the
Petrified Forests National Park created, and on one or two occasions
the Territorial Legislature sent memorials to Congress, the only re-
sult of which was an order withdrawing the lands from entry. Later
several special agents were sent out to examine the deposits and re-
port, but nothing resulted from these investigations. Finally Mr.
S. J. Holsinger was sent out by the Department, and in company
with the writer, spent several days in the forests, during which the
different deposits or forests were named in order to distinguish them
for literary and other purposes, the first being given the name of
Eagle Rock, the second Crystal Forest, the third Jim Camp Forest,
and the last Rainbow Forest. Although these agents reported favor-
ably concerning the Park, and the bill to create it passed the house on
two occasions, it could never be got out of the Senate Committee on
Public Lands. The writer communicated with Senator Hans-
borough, then Chairman of the Committee, and was notified that the
Committee would meet on certain dates, but not seeing the way clear
to meet the expenses incident to a trip to Washington, he realized
IN ARIZONA
107
that his efforts in this regard would be unavailing. Later on, taking
the matter up with Congressman Lacey of Iowa and Senator Lodge
of Massachusetts, he learned that the bill was being held up in
the Committee by an attorney named Parker and a Senator named
Bern-, from Arkansas. After some serious thinking on the subject, he
resumed his efforts, when it transpired that the word "forest" appear-
ing in the bill, certain interests w T ere determined to obtain timber
lands for those they were to relinquish to the government within
the limits selected for the Park. This meant about 30,000 acres of
timber land for the Company, owning, as it did, each alternate section
within the prescribed area.
It was not long after this, some time in June, 1906, that an inno-
cent looking bill was passed by both Senate and House for the Pres-
ervation of American Antiquities, and on December 8, 1906, Presi-
dent Roosevelt issued a proclamation creating the Petrified Forest
National Monument, under the above act, about 60,000 acres in
area. On July 31, 1911, President Taft issued a second proclama-
tion reducing the size of the Monument to about forty square miles,
in which, however, he made the same error that had been made by
President Roosevelt, both having used the following wording: ' do
hereby set aside and reserve as the Petrified Forest National Monu-
ment, subject to any valid existing rights, the deposits of mineralized
forest remains, together with enough lands to insure the protection
thereof, situated in Gila and Apache Counties, Arizona." The
lands are then described by section, township and range. The error
lies in the fact that none of the land is located in Gila County, and
the proclamations should read Apache and Navajo Counties. The
government has made no provision for guarding or protecting the
forest and there are no roads except those made by the general public.
Holbrook and Adamana are the only two stations on the Santa Fe
from which tourists can make the trip to the Forests. The latter is
advertised extensively by the Santa Fe Railroad and recommended
as the point from which to visit the Forest on account of the distance,
as it is within six or eight miles of Eagle Rock, and if there remain
three hours of daylight when trains reach Adamana, visitors may be
shown Eagle Rock Forest and the Natural Bridge, which, together
with the scattered sections of trees in the vicinity, afford some idea
of what the forest is like, but really only a hint of what may be
seen by visiting the Jim Camp and Rainbow Forests, the largest and
most interesting of all, in which the deposits and freak interests are
wonderful and almost beyond description. The Sphinx Head, Bal-
ance Log and Broken Bow must really be seen to be appreciated.
These two Forests w r ill soon be on the Transcontinental Highway,
which will cross from Flagstaff, through Canyon Diablo, via the
Painted Desert to Winslow, Clear Creek, Chevelon, Aztec Valley,
108
\V II S W H
Holbrook, through Mirage Valley and the Petrified Forest to Apache
County. The highways through Navajo and Apache Counties are
fast being put in shape for transcontinental traffic, and a more
scenic route will never be found.
One point of considerable interest is the abundance of petrified
coniferous trees, which lie scattered about like a vast body of drift-
wood along the banks of rivers after flood time. It is claimed by
some that the trees grew in the locality where now found, and by
others that they were floated in in early days during volcanic and
flood periods, and that the various colors were caused by heat, water,
the minerals of the soil and the different classes and kinds of wood,
the softer woods being more thoroughly penetrated by the minerals
and water deeper than the hard. Professor Ward, of the Geological
Survey, states that there is no other petrified forest in which the wood
assumes such varied and interesting forms and colors, and it is these
that present the chief attraction to the general public. The state of
mineralization in which most of this wood exists almost places it
among the gems and precious stones. Not only are the chalcedony,
opals, and agates found among them, but many approach the condi-
tion of jasper and onyx. The degree of hardness attained by them is
such that one may take a piece of the wood and readily cut his name
in glass.
There are also a number of ancient Aztec Ruins within the Na-
tional Monument and in some instances, according to Dr. Walter
Hough, of Smithsonian Institute, the material used by the ancients
in those buildings was petrified wood. The villages were small, con-
sisting sometimes of but a few houses, but a peculiar interest attaches
to them from the fact that they were built of logs of beautiful wood.
The prehistoric dwellers of the land selected pieces of uniform size,
which was seemingly determined by the carrying strength of the man,
and it is probable that builders never chose more beautiful material
for the construction of their habitations.
In a recent publication Dr. Merrill says: 'The chemistry of the
process of petrification or silification is not quite clear. Silica is ordi-
narily looked upon as one of the most insoluble of substances. It is
nevertheless readily soluble in alkaline solutions i. e. : solutions con-
taining soda or potash. It is probable that the solutions permeating
these buried logs were thus alkaline, and as the logs gradually de-
cayed their organic matter was replaced, molecule by molecule, by
silica. The wood has, therefore, not "turned to stone," but has sim-
ply been replaced by mineral matter, mainly silica. The brilliant red
and other colors are due to the small amount of iron and manganese
deposited together with the silica, and superoxidized as the trunks
are exposed to the air. The most brilliant colors are, therefore,
found on the surface, and the smaller fragments are more likely to
be colored throughout than the larger.

Review," issue of March 30th, by George H. Kelly, editor, is a concise
summing up of the condition of the mining industry of Arizona, and
since prosperity depends, in a great degree, on this industry, this is an
indication of general conditions throughout the state.
"In the mining industry of Arizona we find the greatest recent ex-
pansion and prosperity and this satisfactory condition is confined to no
one district or section of the state, but is in evidence all the way from
Jerome to Bisbee, and from Kingman to Clifton. The good price
maintained for copper during the past year has caused unusual activity
by those engaged in the production of the red metal and all the pro-
ducers have been engaged in providing new r plants and adding to old
ones, thus indicating a purpose of increasing their output and reducing
the cost of production. A few r years ago the average cost of copper
production in Arizona was about 12 cents per pound ; this average has
now been lowered to less than nine cents with the minimum main-
tained by several of the largest producers at about seven cents, so even
the low price of copper eighteen months ago was not alarming and the
present price of 15 cents is highly gratifying.
'The copper mining companies in Arizona now have in course of
construction work which, when completed, will cost fifteen million
dollars and provide not only largely increased facilities but greater
economy in the operation of mines and reduction plants. At Jerome
the United Verde is building an entirely new smelting plant at a cost
of $3,500,000; in the Globe district the Inspiration Consolidated
Company is building a mammoth concentrator which with the money
expended in installation of mining facilities, development of water,
etc., will cost $7,000,000; at Clifton the Arizona Copper Company
is spending $2,500,000 for a new smelting plant which is due for
completion during the coming summer. At Douglas the new two mil-
lion dollar smelter being constructed by the Calumet & Arizona is
nearing completion, while the Copper Queen last year completed a
reverberatory furnace and McDougal roasting plant at an approxi-
mate cost of $750,000 and this year has started another unit of this
plant.
"The mining industry is today, as it has ever been since it was in-
augurated, the bone, sinew and marrow of the industrial prosperity of
Arizona. It is in the hands of competent men who are a guarantee of
its continued growth and prosperity.
"Arizona is in the heyday of its prosperity, and its people have
every reason to be happy and contented."

The Copper Queen
THE COPPER QUEEN CONSOLIDATED MINING COMPANY'S mines,
situated at Bisbee in The Warren District, are among the greatest
copper mines of the world, and the largest producer of the four great
mines controlled and operated by Phelps, Dodge & Co. Their other
holdings are: The Detroit Copper Mining Company of Arizona, at
Morenci ; The Old Dominion Copper Mining Company, at Globe,
and The Moctezuma Copper Company, at Nacozari, Mexico. The
Copper Queen has been producing for thirty years, during twenty
of which it was the only producer in the Warren Mining District.
This District is named after George Warren, who discovered and
disclosed the fact that great bodies of ore existed in the Mule Moun-
tains. The original workers of the property upon which the Warren
District is founded were named Martin, Ballard and Riley, who
built a small smelter where the old depot stood, and this, from the
day it was blown in, showed the rich deposits that were to be found
in those hills.
Dr. James Douglas, now President of Phelps, Dodge & Co., had
purchased a few mining claims on the mountain side above this point,
and there sunk a shaft. At a depth of a few hundred feet ore was
discovered, and having compromised a suit with the old Copper
Queen Company, the companies were reorganized and consolidated,
and the foundation laid for the greatest mining district in the south-
west. Like many other rich and successful mines, the Copper
Queen has known periods of depression, and it is stated upon author-
ity that at one time the present owners, having spent $80,000 without
permanent results, were deeply discouraged and in much doubt as to
the advisability of proceeding with the development. Luckily, how-
ever, for Bisbee and the whole district, another $15,000 was appro-
priated, which, invested in a sort of forlorn hope, enabled the faith-
ful band of workers to discover the real copper deposits. These
mines are now the main source of wealth of the entire county, and
upon them all the other industries depend, either directly or indi-
rectly.
The Copper Queen now has over 100 miles of underground work-
ings in its extensive property. The deepest shaft in its mines is only
about 1,800 feet, and no development work has been done below
1,600 feet. The bottom of the limestone foundation, in which the
ores occur, has never been found in Copper Queen ground, and
there is no reason to feel that the ores grow leaner with depth. At
one point very rich oxides and carbonates are being mined at a depth
of 1,600 feet, the deepest workings, while at another heavy iron sul-
phides are found within four or five hundred feet of the surface.

The Copper Queen mine was opened in 1880 on a solid outcrop of
oxidized copper, iron and manganese, opposite the Copper Queen
hotel in Bisbee. The original ore body, since removed, leaving a large
artificial cave, gave an average return of 23 per cent copper, but was
exhausted in three or four years, and the mine experienced many vic-
issitudes until additional and far larger ore bodies were developed.
Extensive bodies of high grade ore have been found within the last
ten years, and development proves them to be of great depth. In
fact, new bodies are being developed yearly, and the ultimate lateral
limits of payable ore are unknown.
The mines show numerous beautiful caves lined with calcite crys-
tals and stalactites, some of which are of considerable size and found
in close association with good ore bodies. Rich oxidized ores are
found on the lowest level, and masses of native metal ranging up to
several tons in weight have been found at considerable depth.
The mine is opened ahead for several years, but not so extensively
as formerly, the ore bodies being so soft that it is difficult to secure the
openings and it is frequently necessary to bulkhead the same in order
to keep them intact. Many of the stopes are bulkheaded throughout,
and the mine is timbered with square sets of 8x8 timber, an average
of twenty feet of timber, board measure, being required for each ton
of ore taken out. The ore is hand sorted under ground after break-
ing, and culls are used for filling in worked out stopes, this material
standing remarkably well. Notwithstanding the numerous disad-
vantages originally encountered, the Copper Queen is one of the
safest of mines for underground workmen, because of experienced,
capable and careful management. Although as a whole the mine is
not especially wet, the district being drained largely by the Superior
and Pittsburgh, yet it is supplied with electric pumps.
In 1908 the entire system of operation was radically changed.
Formerly each of the principal shafts was operated as a separate
mine, but the five old shafts are now used for men, waste, timber and
supplies, all ore extraction being done through the Sacramento shaft.
The underground haulage plant installed in that year consists of 17
miles of track on every second level, from the fourth to the sixteenth,
inclusive, ore from the intermediate levels being dropped through
chutes and all of it hauled to the Sacramento shaft for hoisting. In
order to complete this traction system it was necessary to open many
new drifts and crosscuts, which are located in solid ground, wherever
possible, as these electric tram lines are the arteries of the mine. The
hauling system includes electric locomotives and side dumping ore
cars. This innovation has resulted in marked economy in operating
expenses.
The ore mined at Bisbee is shipped to Douglas, 28 miles distant,
for treatment. There is located the Copper Queen Smelter, the most
modern in the world, which is a central smelter for the mines of

Phelps, Dodge & Co. in Arizona and Mexico. These properties
produce a great variety of copper ores, including practically every
grade found in the American southwest and northern Mexico, and
it is possible by means of this central reduction plant to take advan-
tage of the varied nature of the ores in mixing furnace charges. The
plant does also considerable custom smelting of gold, silver and copper
ores. The buildings consist of smelter building, power house, boiler
house, machine shops and foundry. The works occupy a site of about
three hundred acres, and are served by a complete Y-track railroad
system of standard gauge, consisting of 15 miles of track and reaching
to every building and department of the plant. Construction of this
was begun in 1901 and the first stack was blown in in March, 1904,
since which time there has been almost constant enlargement, and the
works are second in size in the country, having a daily capacity of
about 4,000 tons. The Company has also a large precipitation plant
and is recovering considerable copper from its mine water.
Water is secured from artesian wells about 400 feet deep, in which
the water rises nearly to the surface. A large reservoir and cooling
tower have been built in connection with the water supply.
The power house, built of steel and brick, provides power for all
departments and transmits electric energy 72 miles to the El Tigre
mine in northern Mexico. The power plant has about twenty units
of various sizes and types, aggregating more than 6,000 horse power.
Buildings at the Douglas works include an office and warehouse
and a number of dwellings for employes.
The relations between the Copper Queen Company and its em-
ployes have been exceedingly cordial for years. Efforts have been
made at different times to unionize the Bisbee miners, but in a ref-
erendum vote taken in 1906, in which the polling was conducted on
the Australian system, and no bosses or other salaried men allowed
to vote, the result was five to one against forming a union.
The management of the Company is superior throughout, and
keeps thoroughly abreast of the times, and it is a fact universally
know r n that this Company enjoys the distinction of being a corpora-
tion with a full and whole soul for those in its employ. In every
possible way is this evidenced in the cities of Bisbee and Douglas.
With the liberality for which the Copper Queen Company has
been noted, they have erected buildings and established free libraries
at both Bisbee and Douglas. The Bisbee library is one of the best
and most complete in the country, and occupies two floors, one of
which is a free reading room, where may be found all works of
reference and the latest magazines and newspapers. The other con-
tains the library proper, consisting of 10,000 volumes on every known
subject, ranging from science to the latest fiction. The service of
the library is absolutely free and the librarians in charge most cour-
teous and helpful.
118 WHO'S WHO
The Douglas Library is conducted on practically the same prin-
ciples, having also a reading room and library proper, but is not quite
so extensive as that of Bisbee. Here, too, the public is accorded the
utmost courtesy.
An Employes' Benefit Association is another one of the excellent
features instituted by this Company. In this Association membership
is entirely voluntary and open to any employe, regardless of occupa-
tion. The finances are administered by a joint board composed of
officers and employes, the Company subscribing $15,000 annually it-
half the employes join, and $25,000 if three-fourths join, while em-
ployes contribute 2 per cent of their monthly wages in return for in-
dustrial and life insurance. Beneficiaries receive half wages if sick or
injured, and one year's wages is received by heirs in case of death from
sickness, and two years' wages in case of death through accident.
The Medical Department has an able staff of physicians and sur-
geons at both Bisbee and Douglas, w r hich is maintained partially
through monthly contributions from employes, the balance being con-
tributed by the Company. There is also a large hospital, provided
with all the modern conveniences known to medical science, and or
which Dr. F. E. Shine is the chief surgeon.
The Copper Queen Consolidated Mining Company was organized
in 1885 under the laws of the State of New York, w r ith a capitaliza-
tion of $2,000,000, shares par value $10.00. It is controlled through
practically the entire stock ownership by Phelps, Dodge & Co., is
really a close corporation, and has only about fifteen shareholders.
The office of the company is at No. 99 John street, New York;
the mine office at Bisbee, Arizona, and the general and works office
at Douglas, Arizona. The officers are as follows : Dr. James Doug-
las, President ; Arthur Curtiss James, Vice President ; George Not-
man, Secretary and Treasurer; Stuart W. French, General Manager;
Grant H. Dowell, Assistant General Manager; Gerald Sherman,
General Mine Superintendent; Joseph Park Hodgson, Superintend-
ent; Forest Rutherford, Superintendent of Reduction Works; Ellin-
wood & Ross, Attorneys ; Dr. F. E. Shine, Medical Superintendent.
The force employed by the Company consists of more than 4,000
men, of whom approximately 2,500 are at the mines, and the re-
mainder at the smelters. In addition to its numerous claims in the
Warren District, it owns various properties in other sections.
One of the points early recognized by this Company was that in
order to achieve the best results it would be necessary to have the
man best suited to the requirements in every capacity, and they have,
therefore, gathered together in their employ the brightest and brain-
iest men obtainable in their several lines, each and every one of whom
is working heart and soul for the best interests of the Copper Queen
Company.

Detroit Copper Company
THE DETROIT COPPER MINING COMPANY OF ARIZONA is con-
trolled through ownership of entire issue of stock by Phelps, Dodge
& Co., Inc. The mine is at Morenci, Graham County, where is also
the mine and works office, while the company's office is at No. 99 John
Street, New York. The mine, opened about 1880, was first worked
opencast, but is now developed by tunnels and shafts. The caving
system, giving about 40% reduction in mining costs, was adopted in
1909, where feasible, and the square-set slicing system is used in other
portions. Gas power is employed for practically all machinery except
hoists and locomotives. There is a complete electric lighting plant.
A pumping station six miles distant raises water from wells on the
San Francisco River to a height of 600 feet, whence it is fed by
gravity to the mill. A 36" gauge railway connects the mines and
smelters with the Arizona & New Mexico railroad at Guthrie, and a
tunnel through Longfellow Hill, completed 1909, gives direct rail
connection with the mill. The smelter has one 42x264" and four
54x144" blast furnaces, and a converter department. Flue dust is
briquetted for resmelting. The smelter has 2,000-ton ore bins, sur-
mounted by a steel railroad trestle. The property of this company is
managed with great skill in all departments, and is an exceptionally
fine example of a successful low-grade mine. They employ about
1,000 men. The officers are: President, Dr. James Douglas; Vice
President, Cleveland H. Dodge; Secretary and Treasurer, George H.
Notman ; General Superintendent, Alexander T. Thompson ; Mine
Superintendent, M. H. McLean ; Mill Superintendent, G. E. Hunt.
The company conducts a large department store and an excellent
hotel, and maintains a library, gymnasium and clubroom for employes.

The Globe-Miami District
THE GLOBE-MIAMI DISTRICT, Gila County, is now producing
annually about 60,000,000 pounds of copper, most of which is ob-
tained from two mines, the Old Dominion at Globe and the Miami
near the town of Miami, and when the improvements now in progress
at these mines shall be completed and the Inspiration Consolidated
placed on a full producing basis, it is anticipated that one-tenth of the
copper supply of the United States will be produced in this district.
For more than twenty years the Old Dominion mine was the most
important deposit of copper ore known in the district, but in 1907
the Miami ore body was discovered in a belt of mineralized schist,
five miles west of Globe, and the next five years was a period of won-
derful development for this section ; a new mining district was
created, and on the site of the town of Miami with a population of
2,000 and rapidly growing, there were less than a dozen houses three
years ago. The population of the Miami district is close to five
thousand; and that of Globe, according to the census of 1910, about
7,000, while in 1902 it was but 1,500. Here has been discovered a
single ore deposit over two miles long and having a maximum width
of 1,500 feet, which contains also several breaks and barren patches,
and on this have been developed four mines. The Globe District,
though pre-eminently a copper producer, furnishes a small amount of
gold and silver, most of which is in connection with the copper ores
of the Old Dominion Mine. Both this and the Miami mine are large
producers and paying dividends and it is expected that the Inspiration
Consolidated, formed by a merger of the Inspiration and Live Oak
Companies, will be producing at its full capacity within a couple of
years.
Old Dominion Company
THE OLD DOMINION COMPANY, whose office is at No. 99 John
Street, New York, while the mine office is at Globe, Arizona, was
organized in January, 1904, under the laws of Maine, with a capi-
talization of $8,750,000, par value of shares $25.00. This is a se-
curities holding company organized to promote the operation of the
Old Dominion Copper Mining & Smelting Co. and United Globe
Mines under joint management, though the companies are operated
as entities. The Old Dominion Mine dates from the year 1874,
when a band of prospectors, braving the hostile Apaches, crossed the
Final Mountains and located the claim that was afterward known as
The Old Dominion Mine, which for some years produced a high grade
of silver. When in the early eighties silver mining began to decline,
attention was turned to copper, of which there were numerous surface
indications, and in 1881 the Old Dominion Company was operating a
122 W H O ' S W H O
small furnace about one mile west of the present town of Miami on
copper silicate ore from a small schist nearby. This proved unprofit-
able, however, and the Globe mine was purchased, the smelter moved
to Globe, and in 1884 two 30-ton furnaces were in operation. Since
that time the mine has passed through several periods of idleness and
re-organization, having changed hands several times, but it has been
a steady producer since the advent of the railroad in 1898 and a divi-
dend payer since 1907. The Old Dominion Copper Mining & Smelt-
ing Company, its present owner, was organized in 1895 under the
laws of the State of New Jersey, with a capitalization of $5,000,000,
par value of shares $25.00. This company had a large debt which
was cared for and the last of which was paid in October, 1908, by
the holding company. An excess of water in this mine, formerly a
sore grievance, has been converted into a source of revenue almost
sufficient to pay for the cost of handling, the water being sold to both
Globe and Miami for various purposes. The mine is equipped with
pumps of about 10,000,000 gallons daily, and with electric haulage,
tramcars having about 22' cubic capacity, and hoisting is in three-
deck cages. The mine, mill and smelter are connected by a private
railway equipped with a Porter locomotive and 50-ton ore cars. This
mine was handicapped in the past by lack of sulphide ores and the
company was- previously an extensive purchaser of these ores needed
for fluxing the oxidized ores of both it and the United Globe Mines,
which are treated at the smelter, but both mines have since developed
considerable sulphide in their lower workings and the amount of cus-
tom ore handled has been greatly reduced. The smelter has a capacity
of 2,400 tons daily. Both mine and smelter are in better shape than
ever before, for which much credit is due the management.
THE UNITED GLOBE MINES, which is also under control of the
Old Dominion Company, was organized with a capitalization of
$2,300,000, par value of "shares $100.00. This adjoins the Old Do-
minion mine and its output is treated at the Old Dominion smelter.
Improvements of plants and mining equipment are continually being
made and $500,000 has recently been appropriated to be expended on
constructive work. One of the most notable improvements is the
lining of the two-compartment Kingdon shaft with concrete. A
separate flue and dust chamber has been built at the converter plant
and a new converter stand will replace the three now in use. This
mine is said to have more ore in sight now than at any other time in
its history, and it is believed that it will be a producer for many years
to come. It is essentially a vein mine, but owing to the large amount
of water encountered and the heavy nature of the ground, it is impos-
sible to block out ore very far in advance of mining. The office of
the company is at 99 John Street, New York, and the mine office at
Globe. The officials are as follows: President, James Douglas; Sec-
retary and Treasurer, George Notman ; Superintendent, George
Kingdon.

The Miami Mine
THE MIAMI MIXE was actually started December 8, 1906, when
J. Parke Channing secured from Fred Alsdorf, a mining engineer,
and F. J. Elliott, a lawyer, an option on the claims that have devel-
oped into the Miami. Mr. Channing was in Globe negotiating for the
Inspiration claims, but considered the price asked excessive, and later
meeting Mr. Alsdorf, he listened to his proposition, examined the
ground and decided to secure an option for the General Development
Company, a Lewishon corporation. Mr. Alsdorf was placed in charge
of the work, and for several months results were discouraging. No.
2 shaft was about 200 feet deep with no sign of ore, and No. 1 had
disclosed only 70 feet of two per cent ore, so it was decided to cut a
20-foot sump and then cross-cut into the hill. At the bottom of the
sump the indications w r ere more encouraging and about ten feet lower
the shaft went into chalcocite ore assaying four per cent copper. The
shaft was continued to the 720-foot level and extended through an
unbroken depth of 485 feet of ore. In November the Miami Copper
Company was organized and development proceeded rapidly. By the
end of 1910 there had been developed 18,000,000 tons of ore averag-
ing 2.58 per cent copper and a 3,000 ton concentrator, power plant
and pumping station had been completed. In March, 1911, the first
unit of the concentrator was started, and within a year all six units
were in operation. The Miami Company was organized under the
laws of Delaware in November, 1907, with a capital of $3,000,000,
par value of shares $5.00. The capital has since been increased to
$4,000,000, 60,000 snares of the latest increase having been offered to
stockholders at $18.00 each.
There being practically no waste in this mine within the limits of
the ore zone, some problems have been presented, the most serious
being to devise a method by which the greatest amount of ore can be
extracted with the least waste. The system devised for mining is
known as the auxiliary raise and sub-level stoping method, by which
60% of the ore will be mined in rooms and the remainder extracted
by top-slicing and sub-level caving methods. The mill structure,
built under the direction of Mr. H. Kenyon Burch, is of steel with
no woodwork, except in the launders, and is on a foundation of about
15,000 cubic yards of concrete. The water supply for the mill in-
cludes a water-right on Final Creek and one at the lower end of the
Miami wash, where there are three wells, each producing 500,000
gallons daily. Water is taken from Final Creek by a 25,000' pipe-line
of 14" diameter. In addition, the company buys from the Old Do-
minion Copper Mining & Smelting Company 1,000,000 gallons of
water daily. The pumping station, about two miles from the concen-
trator, has electric pumps. The mine is served by the Gila Valley,
Globe & Northern Railway with standard gauge, having an excellent

average grade and light curves, so that favorable freight rates are
given the mine and mill. No essential feature of well planned and
thoroughly symmetrical development has been slighted and, there-
for, the cost of putting the Miami mine on a productive basis has
been much greater than was anticipated, a matter in which the man-
agement deserves credit rather than censure, as every dollar above
the original estimate that has been put into the property has given at
least $5.00 of developed values. They have a substantial office build-
ing erected at a cost of $15,000, and the company has built a recrea-
tion hall provided with reading matter, pool tables and games. The
lands of the company aggregate 1,122 acres, partly patented and the
balance in process, of which 222 acres are mineral ground. The
Miami is a very large and very fine mine and is in worthy and able
hands. The offices are at No. 42 Broadway, New York, and Miami,
Arizona. The officers are as follows : President, Adolph Lewisohn ;
Vice President, J. Parke Channing; Treasurer, Sam A. Lewishon ;
Secretary, Herman Cooke; General Manager, B. Britton Gottsberger;
Mine Supt., N. O. Lawton ; Mill Supt., F. W. Solomon.
The Inspiration Consolidated
THE INSPIRATION CONSOLIDATED MINING COMPANY was formed
early in the year 1912 by the merging of the Inspiration Mining Com-
pany and the Live Oak Development Company, both of which had
been in course of development for several years. The former had
been organized under the laws of Maine in 1909 with a capitalization
of $10,000,000, issuing 1,000,000 shares of stock at a par value of
$10.00 a share; and the latter was organized under the law r s of Ari-
zona with a capitalization of $500,000, issuing 50,000 shares of stock
at a par value of $10.00 a share. Both mines are situated in the
Globe-Miami District.
At the time of the organization of The Inspiration Copper Com-
pany the property consisted of twenty-five claims. The Taylor group
of seven claims was acquired about a month later, and the Black
Copper group of eight claims, formerly owned by the Arizona Banner
Copper Company, about six months later after having been held under
bond by The Inspiration Copper Mining Company for a number of
months. The total area of mineral lands then aggregated about 500
acres. On these various groups of claims considerable development
work had been done before they became part of The Inspiration prop-
erty. Part of this development was done by underground shaft, part
by churn drilling, and by the end of the year 1911 there had been
developed in them a total of 45,000,000 tons of ore averaging about
two per cent copper.
A period of vast development and construction work, which will
involve the expenditure of about $7,000,000, in about two years, was
begun soon after the merger of the two companies was completed.
IN ARIZONA
127
This includes three development and two main working shafts and
the opening of the first haulage level. Many miles of drifts and
levels will also be necessary to bring the mine to the point of produc-
tion. Plans were also drawn for a 7,500-ton concentrator, power
plant, railroads, shops, etc., on all of which construction will proceed
as rapidly as possible.
The Company has valuable water rights covering the junctions
of Final and Miami Creeks; a water supply dam is completed across
Final Creek, and a pumping plant is being erected.
The Live Oak property was first located by a man named Marshall
in 1890. It was later acquired by Forrest Kaldenbery, who assigned
it to the Live Oak Copper Mining & Smelting Company and operated
by the latter until 1908, when it was taken over by the Hovland &
Smith interests and The Live Oak Development Company. While it
Inspiration Camp near Miami, Arizona
was in control of The Live Oak Copper Mining & Smelting Com-
pany, over $600,000 worth of ore was produced, the greater part of
which was shipped to the Old Dominion Smelter at Globe.
During this same period of development a tunnel 500 feet long, now
known as the Sulphite Tunnel, was driven from the south end of the
Copper Springs claim in the direction of the vertical shaft, the origi-
nal purpose of which was to cut several veins of high grade sulphide
ore which outcrops on the surface, and from its portal to its face, this
tunnel w r as driven through altered schist sprinkled throughout with
chalcocite ore similar to the ores of the Miami, Inspiration and Key-
stone mines. After The Live Oak Development Company took over
the property the vertical shaft was continued to a depth of 281 feet,
and at the 200 foot level sulphides were encountered.
128 WHO'S WHO IN ARIZONA
The Inspiration Consolidated Copper Company, capitalized at $30,-
000,000, is at present employing about 700 men, with the number
steadily increasing, and it is estimated that the mine, when in full
operation, will be able to produce about 7,000,000 pounds of copper a
year.
Mr. William B. Thompson, of the Gunn-Thompson Company, is
president; Mr. Charles E. Mills, for some years in a similar position
with the Detroit Copper Mining Company of Arizona, at Morenci,
is general manager ; Dr. L. D. Ricketts is consulting engineer, and
Mr. T. R. Drummond is superintendent.
By means of the untiring efforts of its capable officials, it is no ex-
aggeration to say The Inspiration Consolidated Mining Company
will eventually be one of the largest and best paying mining projects
in Arizona.
The Shattuck-Arizona Copper Co.
THE SHATTUCK-ARIZONA COPPER Co. mine lies in the northeast-
ern portion of the Bisbee camp, and consists of eight claims patented,
with an area of about 120 acres. Development was begun here in
August, 1904, and shipment of ore in September, 1906. In November,
1907, however, work was stopped for a time owing to the panic, but
was resumed in 1908 and production has since been continuous.
Owing to the rugged topography of the lands tunneling is imprac-
ticable, neighboring properties holding all tunnel sites, hence develop-
ment is by shaft. Ores are mainly oxidized, with some sulphides at
depth. The property is equipped to produce about 1,000 tons daily. The
Shattuck-Arizona has been the highest grade producer of any large cop-
per mine of the world, and possibly also the lowest cost producer. For a
time the Company pursued the policy of extracting only the highest
grade ores, which in 1910 gave the phenomenal average return of about
17% copper, leaving an immensely greater tonnage of ore of much
lower average grade unstoped in the mine. Ores are shipped from this
mine to smelters at Douglas. The buildings of the Company include
a carpenter shop, smithy, boiler house, engine house, warehouse, saw-
mill, and changing house with accommodation for 200 men.
The Shattuck-Arizona Company was organized March 22, 1904,
under the laws of Arizona, with a capitalization of $3,500,000, shares
$10.00 par, non-assessable and fully issued. This company is closely
connected in ownership and management with the Denn-Arizona
Mining Co. The main office of the Company is at Duluth, Minne-
sota, and the mine office at Bisbee, Arizona. The officers are Thomas
Bardon, president; A. Guthrie, vice president; Archibald M. Chis-
holm, secretary and treasurer; Lemuel G. Shattuck, managing direc-
tor; Norman E. La Mond, assistant secretary; A. B. W. Hodges, con-
sulting engineer; and John Olson, superintendent. The stock of the
Company is listed on the Boston Stock Exchange.

130 WHO'S WHO
The United Verde Mine
THE UNITED VERDE MINE is situated on the north slope of one of
the principal mountains of the Black Hills Range, about five miles
from the Verde River. The United Verde Copper Company was or-
ganized under the laws of New York, and re-organized in 1889
under the laws of West Virginia with a capitalization of $3,000,000.
It is practically a close corporation and controlled through stock
ownership by Senator William A. Clark. Many of the stories writ-
ten of this property, w T hich have aided in making it world famous,
have been but a perversion of facts caused by a desire to create the
impression that Senator Clark was receiving the greatest income of
any man in the world through its output ; and while the property
merits all of the renown which it has attained, the history of the
United Verde has not been an example of blind luck, but a gradual
development by means of a liberal expenditure of money and a liberal
application of brains and judgment. The credit for its success is,
therefore, due to Senator Clark, and not to the Goddess of Chance.
The first location made in the district was the Verde Mine, which
is now the property of the Verde Queen Copper Company. This was
located by the famous scout, Al Seiber, in the early eighties, was held
by him several years and then became the property of Dan Mar, a
farmer, who later disposed of the same to the present company. In
1883 the original United Verde Company was organized and began
active operations at once, installing a thirty-ton copper furnace. In
spite of the fact that coal and coke for the furnace had to be hauled
from Ash Fork, a distance of 75 miles, tw r o dividends of $37,500 and
$25,000 respectively, w r ere declared. The next year the majority of
the stock was placed in escrow by the company under lease and bond
to Senator Clark, and before the expiration of the option the bond
was satisfied by Senator Clark, who, recognizing its value, began to
acquire the outstanding stock as rapidly as possible. Senator Clark
gained control of the property in 1888, since when its development
has steadily increased, and the plant has grown from the thirty-ton
smelter to the ponderous furnaces of today.
A large portion of the power used in operating the United Verde
Mine is purchased from the Arizona Power Company and transmit-
ted a distance of 38 miles, under pressure of 40,000 volts, 3-phase,
60-cycle, stepped down and converted in the Power Company's sub-
station, and delivered on the Copper Company's switchboard at 2,300
volts AC, and 250 volts DC. The switchboard is built in two sec-
tions, and has 19 panels equipped with the necessary apparatus to
control, not only the power and lights used in the plant, but also the
power and lights used in the city of Jerome.
Modern shops, equipped with necessary tools for doing all repair
work for the mine, smelter and railroad are conveniently located.
The smelter building is 80'x400', and contains one blast furnace
IX ARIZONA
131
56'xl80' with 14' settler, and three blast furnaces 48'x240' with 16'
settlers, all fitted with hot blast pipes. In the converter line there
are four stands 93'xl38', barrel type shells, electrically operated.
There is also one Knudsen furnace.
In this building there are also two 40-ton and two 50-ton electric
traveling cranes that traverse the full length of the building, and are
used for handling the converter, matte, and slag ladles. All the fur-
naces are connected to the main dust flue, which runs the full length
of the smelter building. Near the center of this flue is located the
main down-take leading to a large brick dust chamber, where the
dust settles from the escaping gases. From the dust chamber the
gases are carried to the main stack, which is built of steel, is 20 feet
in diameter and 165 feet high. The smelter building is also fitted
with the necessary blast pipes for the furnaces and converters, also
water pipes and pipes for compressed air.
The ore for the smelter upon arriving at the surface at the shaft is
dumped directly into the main storage bins, from which it is loaded
into the furnace feed cars and taken by electric locomotives to the
feed floors, and dumped into the furnaces by means of air lifts.
The water supply is piped from various springs south of Jerome,
the farthest being 16 miles. It flows by gravity and is distributed
along the various tanks about the plant aggregating a storage capacity
of 435,000 gallons. The works are secured from fire by a first class
system of water mains. Numerous hose houses are located about the
plant, sufficiently equipped for all purposes.
The mines, smelter and city of Jerome are connected with the main
line of the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix Railroad at Jerome Junc-
tion by the United Verde & Pacific Railroad, which consists of 26
miles of narrow gauge line traversing a very difficult country, and
the scenic effects which greet the eye of the visitor as the train winds
round the sharp curves approaching Jerome are decidedly spectacular.
The rolling equipment of this road consists of eight mogul type, nar-
row gauge locomotives equipped for burning fuel oil; five passenger
cars and 144 freight cars of various kinds, including box, flat, oil,
coal, coke, and rock cars.
The United Verde mine is worked from vertical shafts, of which
there are four, ranging in depth from 300 to 1,500 feet. Where the
ore comes to the surface it is worked from open cuts. There are also
adits which connect the main workings on the 300, 500 and 1,000 foot
levels. There are copper precipitating flumes outside on these levels.
The 1,000 tunnel, which is 6,593 feet long, seven and one-half feet
high and eight feet wide, is now used for drainage and ventilation.
It was driven for this purpose as well as for a main haulage way for
the ores for the new smelter.
A large area of the old workings is in the fire district, and except
where work is being carried on in this district it is bulkheaded from
the remainder of the mine. A portion of it is being worked from the
I N A RI Z O N A 133
300 and 400 levels. The ground in and about these places is badly
broken up, and fans are used to force back the gas and sufficiently cool
the place so that good results can be obtained. There are about 15
miles of workings open at the present time. There are about 550
men employed, and the tonnage is about 1,000 tons a day.
New Smelter: In the Verde Valley, at Clarkdale, approximately
six miles from the present smelter site, and connected with the mine
at the 1000-foot level by the Verde Tunnel and Smelter Railroad, a
new smelter of approximately 3,000 tons daily capacity is in course of
erection. It is the intention to make the new smelter thoroughly
modern in every detail. In general, the equipment at the new smelter
will consist of: Four 48x26 ft. blast furnaces; three 19x100 ft. re-
verberatory furnaces; five 12 ft. converters; large receiving and stor-
age bins for ore and coke ; sampling mill, thoroughly equipped with
the latest machinery for this class of work ; dust chambers, stacks and
ore handling system, etc., designed according to the latest engineering
practice.
The shops will be equipped with modern machinery. The ware-
house and main buildings will be steel structures, designed with a
liberal allowance of operating space. Approximately 10,000,000
brick and 8.000 tons of steel will be used 'n the construction of this
plant. A modern brick plant to make the brick is in the course of
construction. The material will be handled in and around the plant
by a modern industrial system, including the latest design of electric
locomotives, conveyors, trams, etc.
The townsite of Clarkdale will be controlled by the Copper Com-
pany. It has been laid out on strictly modern, and sanitary lines.
The buildings have been carefully designed with due regard to cli-
matic conditions, etc. The fire and water supply system has received
careful attention. A 40,000 volt transmission line, connected with
the Arizona Power Company's mains supplies the necessary power for
construction requirements.
The bulk of the power for operating the smelter will be supplied
from waste heat boilers, connected to the reverberatory furnaces.
The new smelter and townsite are connected with standard guage
Verde Valley Railroad, running up the Verde Valley, a distance of
40 miles, and connecting with the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix Rail-
road at Cedar Glade. This gives the new townsite and smelter a
decided advantage in transportation facilities over the old smelter and
Jerome narrow gauge connection.
The business office of the United Verde Company is at No. 20 Ex-
change Place, New York City, and the mines and works offices at
Jerome, Arizona. The officers are : Honorable W. A. Clark, Presi-
dent ; James A. McDonald, Vice President ; J. H. Anderson, Secre-
tary ; H. H. St. Clair, Treasurer; Will L. Clark, Manager for
Arizona.

The Ray Consolidated
RAY CONSOLIDATED COPPER MIXES, situated at Ray, Pinal
County, is one of the greatest mines in the entire country in point of
production. It employs between 1,600 and 1,700 men, and has an
average monthly payroll of $135,000. The total area of mining lands
owned by the Company approximates 2,000 acres at Ray, almost all
of which is patented, and in addition to this they control under long
lease certain surface areas adjacent to the settlement of Mexican em-
ployes known as Sonoratown. At Hayden, where the mill and smelter
is located, they own about 4,000 acres situated in Gila and Pinal
Counties, and additional holdings which include the townsite of Kel-
vin, eighteen patented millsites, in area about 87 acres, and twenty-
one unpatented millsites, in area about 105 acres.
The Ray Consolidated Copper Mining Company was organized
in May, 1907, under the laws of Maine, with a capitalization of
$6,000,000, which has been increased several times and now amounts
to $12,000,000. The par value of shares is $10.00. A $3,000,000
issue of 6 per cent convertible bonds was authorized July 1, 1907, but
has been recalled by conversion into stock. They later absorbed the
Gila Copper Company, through exchange of stock, giving one share
for three, and through the purchase in 1911 of the real assets of
the Gila Copper Company in process of liquidation. During the past
year they have secured an important acquisition in the property of
the Ray Central Mining Company, which lies in the same district.
This group also was absorbed by means of a stock transaction, and is
estimated to contain 600,000 tons of copper ore averaging 5 per cent.
The Ray & Gila Valley Railroad, which is owned by this Company,
connects the town of Ray with Kelvin and Ray Junction, and joins
the Arizona Eastern at the latter point. During the past year the
line has been extended to No. 2 shaft, and a permanent station estab-
lished near that point for the convenience of the town of Ray. An-
other branch extends from a point on the Arizona Eastern to the mill
at Hayden, a distance of about three miles. The total trackage, in-
cluding sidings, is about sixteen miles, the main line to the two
branches being about ten miles. The present equipment of the line
consists of three locomotives, one hundred twenty 60-ton steel ore
cars, and the small amount of equipment necessary for passengers
and commercial freight business. The road and its equipment is in
excellent physical condition, and its operation is resulting in substan-
tial profits. The distance between Ray and Hayden via the Ray &
Gila Valley and Arizona Eastern is about twenty miles. The Ray
mine has been developed by underground workings and extensive
churn drill borings, and the Gila property has been proven by drills
mainly, holes having been bored, checker-board fashion, in 200-foot
squares. The mine is opened by two shafts about 4,000 feet apart,

and in addition to the two main operating shafts, there are six other
shafts extending to the main levels for ventilation and other purposes.
It was formerly planned to operate the property through one shaft,
but it was felt that a single shaft would be inadequate for such a
mammoth property. The shafts are connected by a drift on the second
level, and by the side of each an incline shaft to be used for the
handling of men and material, the comparatively shallow depth of
the mine permitting this lavish use of extra shafts. In addition to
these, since the acquisition of the Ray Central properties, a new
shaft, known as No. 3, is being sunk to tap the ore in this group. Ore
is hauled underground in trains of 5-ton cars drawn by 10-ton eletcric
locomotives. There is a crushing plant at the mines, reducing the
ore to about one-inch size before shipment to the mill. The mill,
of 8,000 tons normal daily capacity, has eight 1,000-ton sections and
is so designed that it can be enlarged on the unit plan. The first
section was completed in March, 1911, but did not operate continu-
ously until after April 1, and subsequently additional sections were
completed until by the end of present year seven sections had been
finished. The power plant is complete and the transmission line
from this plant to Ray is in continuous and satisfactory commission,
furnishing all the power used at the mines. The pumping station for
main water supply, machine shops, warehouse and all accessories arc
completed and in full operation. The miscellaneous buildings are all
of steel frame on concrete foundation. Office buildings and quarters
for offices and employes have also been provided. The power plant
at the millsite is 10,000 horse-power and supplies electric current for
the operation of the entire property, except locomotives. The plant
has water tube boilers with four 2,500 horse-power Allis-Chalmers
triple expansion engines, direct connected to four 1,750 kilowatt
electric generators. The smelter, which adjoins the mill, has a ca-
pacity of 1,600 tons and a converter department. The company has
erected family houses of the highest type. Each family has a com-
fortable cottage of three rooms, this style having been chosen by the
company instead of the usual community quarters, so that each family
has its own home. Shower baths, electric lights and modern plumb-
ing throughout are features of these cottages, \vhich are far superior
to those usually found in isolated mining camps. Single men are
quartered two in a cottage, and these cottages, like the other build-
ings of the company, are modern in every respect and have all con-
veniences. This, however is not the most agreeable part. The price
has been reduced to cost and the rooming accommodations, which
furnish all the comforts of a home, cost the men less than ten cents a
day. The company has built a well appointed club house, where the
men have a number of forms of amusement, a shower bath, plunge
and other accessories of a place of this kind. There is also a new
hospital, with accommodations for twenty beds, well built and well
i: 1 . 1 - \v ii o s \v H o
furnished throughout, not only with all modern surgical instruments,
including an X-Ray apparatus, hut one of tin- finest operating rooms
outside a large city.
It has heen said that the Ray Consolidated management treats its
men as though they were a part of the family, and after a visit to the
camp one can not hut think that this family and all the members
thereof are most fortunate.
The office of the Company is No. 1 1 1 Broadway, New York; mine
office at Ray, and mill office at Harden, Arizona. The officers
are Sherwood Aldrich, President; Colonel D. C. Jackling, Vice Presi-
dent and General Manager; Eugene P. Shove, Secretary and Treas-
urer; Louis S. Gates, Manager; W. S. Boyd, Superintendent of
Mines; J. Q. MacDonald, Superintendent of Mills; A. J. Maclean,
Cashier; Joe H. Browne, Supply Agent. The management, practic-
ally the same as that of the Utah Copper Company, is thoroughly ex-
perienced, strong and capable.
Arizona Copper Company
ARIZONA COPPER COMPANY, LTD., whose lands consist of about
4,000 acres containing eight producing mines in Greenlee County,
was organized in August, 1884, under the laws of Great Britain, with
a capitalization of 755,000. About 20 per cent of this stock is is-
sued in the United States. The mines, except the Coronado, are de-
veloped to a depth of 500 feet only, being opened mainly by tunnels,
thereby affording cheap extraction. Notwithstanding the compara-
tively shallow zone of development, a tremendous amount of ore is in
sight. Considerable diamond drilling has been done. The Humboldt
mine, which is the principal producer, shows a large body of low-
grade disseminated chalcocite. Extraction from this property is
partly opencast, but mainly through tunnels equipped with electric
lights and electric traction. The haulage system uses the overhead
trolley. Electric locomotives of 12 horse-power haul 80-ton loads,
the line having a single track running 8,600 feet directly through the
mountain, with a loop reaching all workings of the Humboldt mine,
the tunnel running through International Hill direct to the new con-
centrator. The Longfellow mine, belonging to this Company, is the
oldest important copper mine in Arizona, dating from about 1877. A
1300-foot tunnel driven from Chase Creek connects with a 600-foot
blind shaft, obviating about three miles of railroad haulage over bad
grades. The Longfellow Extension mine has developed into a good
property.
The Coronado Group, about nine miles from Clifton, has three
shafts, the deepest of which is 1,100 feet, and shows considerable
high grade ore. Ore is taken from the different mines by six gravity
tramlines to storage bins on the Coronado railroad, from which it is

hauled to the reduction plant at Clifton. This railroad is of 36-inch
gauge from Clifton to Metcalf, a distance of seven miles, and has
30-ton ore cars.
The mines and works use about 3,000 horse-power, supplied in
about equal portions from steam, gas and distillate engines. The gas-
engine plant is exceptionally complete. It has been planned to de-
velop hydro-electric power and transmit same from a dam about 50
miles distant. The somewhat scattered works at Clifton, Morenci,
Longfellow and Metcalf were remodeled and enlarged several times,
and the reduction plants now include six concentrators, a smelter,
lixiviation plant and acid plant.
No. 6 Concentrator has a daily capacity of 1 ,500 tons, and has
two 600-ton crushers and a 250 horse-power Nordberg engine, direct
connected to a 125 horse-power dynamo, steam being furnished by
three 400 horse-power Stirling water-tube boilers. No. 6 Mill has
a large settling basin. The Company has had trouble over tailings
and has found it necessary to use its best endeavors to keep its tailings
from entering the river. There is a tank about a mile above the town,
with an 18-inch wooden pipe line to supply clear water at flood times,
and in dry seasons, the tank being fed by seepage and spring water.
The smelter is of steel frame with slate roof and floor of iron
plates laid in cement. There are six 300-ton water-jacket blast fur-
naces, each 39x240 feet at the tuyeres, with blast supplied by Nos.
7, 9 and 10 Connersville blowers, operated by a 275 horse-power
engine. Gases from the blast furnaces pass through a 480-foot tunnel
and 300-foot stack. Matte of 50 to 55 per cent copper tenor is
charged into the converters by a 10-ton ladle handled by a 30-ton
electric crane. The converter plant has three stands and six 7-ton
shells, with a daily capacity of 50 tons of 99.5% blister copper. Disin-
tegration of slag by running water was tried, but has been discon-
tinued, and molten slag is again handled by a steam locomotive. A
complete new smelter is now under construction.
The 25-ton briquetting plant uses coal-breeze as a binder, under a
pressure of 2,000 pounds per square inch. The plant is entirely
automatic, fines going in at one end and briquettes being loaded on
cars at the other.
The acid plant makes about 3,000 tons of sulphuric acid yearly
from the fumes of the roasters, the entire product being used in the
leaching plant, which treats an average of 250 tons of low grade oxi-
dized ore daily. This is perhaps the most successful leaching plant in
the United States.
Miscellaneous enterprises include a well-equipped foundry, machine
shop, saw mill, planing mill, and 20-ton ice plant, all built of brick.
The Company also has excellent general merchandise stores at Clifton,
Longfellow and Metcalf, while a splendid library is maintained for
employes. The number of employes at the present time is over 2,700.

The office of the Company is at 29 St. Andrew Square, Edinburgh,
Scotland, and the mine and works office at Clifton, Arizona. The
officers are as follows: John Wilson, Chairman ; P. Dickson, J. P. G.
Readman, J. Wilson, Y. J. Pentland, Alex McNab, J. P., and Lord
Salveson, Directors ; Norman Carmichael, General Manager ; William

Archibald Morrison, Mill Superintendent at Clifton; J. G. Cooper,
Purchasing Agent. The Company is entitled to much credit for its
conservatism and the thoroughly successful working of its plant.
The Shannon Copper Co.
THE SHANNON COPPER COMPANY was organized November 13,
1899, under the laws of Delaware, for the purpose of purchasing the
Hughes and Shannon mine, which had been for years considered the
equal of any copper mine in Arizona. It had been owned for twenty
years by Charles M. Shannon, the well known pioneer of the district,
who had been unable to interest capital to develop the property so as
to bring it to a producing stage, until he attracted the attention of
Mr. W. B. Thompson, of Boston. Mr. Thompson, however, would
not undertake to handle the property unless it w y as sold outright,
which Air. Shannon agreed to do with the understanding that he be
allowed to retain an interest in the company as stockholder. The
company was capitalized at $3,000,000, par value of shares $10; and
in July, 1909, this amount was increased to $3,300,000, of which
$300,000 was held in the treasury for conversion of an issue of $600,-
000 6% bonds which had been authorized in May, 1909, by the
Shannon-Arizona Railway Company, and were convertible into Shan-
non stock at $20.00. The company also had a direct issue of 7%
bonds originally $600,000 with a $60,000 annual sinking fund for
redemption, by means of which the bond issue was reduced. The
new company immediately began the systematic development of the
property, and shortly afterward purchased some adjoining claims
from the Arizona Copper Company, the pioneer mining company of
the district. This gave them not only very valuable mines, but also
control of ground which was necessary in the extensive work which
had been mapped out. Their lands now consist of about 50 claims, in
area about 400 acres, at Metcalf, in the Greenlee district, with a
millsite of about 100 acres area, and some limestone claims on the
Frisco River. The mine is developed by shafts, tunnels and open
pits, underground workings reaching a depth of about 1,300 feet be-
low the crest of the mountain. The mine is timbered with 12x\2"
square sets. Extraction is by two double track tunnels, one of which
is 7x8' in size and connects with a 1,400' double-track incline tram
leading to the Coronado Railway, with six ore-bins at either end, the
tramway, inclined at 36 deg., having 10-ton cars operating in counter-
142 \V H ' S \V H
balance with a retarding engine at the upper end, the steel cable pass-
ing around a 13' double drum, which runs a small air-compressor
that generates power while serving as an auxiliary brake. The Shan-
non Company controls the Coronado Mining Co., through ownership
of ^ 1 ' , of the stock issue, and operates under lease, the property of
the Leonard Copper Company, owning the Copper Belle mine at
Gleeson. They also own and operate the Shannon-Arizona Railway,
which is capitalized at $600, 000. This standard-gauge line of about
ten miles length, was built and equipped at a cost of about $600,000,
the territory traversed being very rugged and a 900-foot tunnel having
been necessary. It was completed in 1910, and has not only proven a
saving to the company of considerable money on ore haulage, but
gives immunity from the serious interferences formerly caused by
annual floods.
The 1,000-ton smelter at Clifton, seven miles from the mines, had
two 350-ton water-jacket blast-furnaces, which were thrown into one
large furnace by a new section between, built on the plan first used
at the Washoe works, making a single blast-furnace of 1,000 tons
daily capacity. The briquetting plant for flue dust and fines has a
daily capacity of 60 tons, and there is a small sampling mill in con-
nection. The 500-ton concentrator, on the San Francisco River, eight
miles from the mine, has ore bins 100' long, in two sections, for first
and second grade ores, and treats daily about 400 tons of ore.. Tail-
ings have carried as high as \.2 f / ( copper, due to the highly oxidized
condition of ores, but have been stored and may be leached later.
Formerly there was much trouble from acid waters eating the iron
screens, while brass or copper screens in the jigs were worn out too
rapidly by abrasion. This trouble was overcome by a simple but in-
genious application of the principle of electrolysis, a low-voltage elec-
tric current being applied to the jigs, by which the screen became a
cathode in the circuit, this attracting hydrogen from the water, which
in turn, attracts the metallic salts, and the copper freed is deposited
on that portion of the screens formerly eaten away. Water is pumped
from wells near the San Francisco River by an electric triplex pump.
The amount of ore smelted has shown an unbroken annual increase
since the fiscal year 1904, while costs have also shown improvement
The office of the company is at No. 82 Devonshire Street, Boston,
Mass., the mine office at Metcalf, Arizona, and the works office at
Clifton, Arizona. The officers are: Nathan L. Amster, president;
Alexander B. Clough, vice president; David A. Ellis, secretary; R.
Townsend McKeever, treasurer; Charles R. Jeffers, assistant secre-
tary and treasurer; John W. Bennie, general manager; H. H. Dyer,
general superintendent; H. A. Collin, mine superintendent; William
H. Bond, mill superintendent. The stock of the company is listed on
the Boston Stock Exchange, the property is considered very valuable,
and the management excellent.

Calumet and Arizona
THE CALUMET & ARIZONA MINING COMPANY was organized in
March, 1901, under the laws of Arizona with a capitalization of
$2,500,000, shares $10.00 par, and the capitalization increased Feb-
ruary, 1911, to $6,500,000. The Company has paid in dividends to
date $16,456,812, and has at present a cash surplus of $4,000,000.
The Company's holdings consist of the original Calumet & Arizona
holdings plus the large holdings of the Superior & Pittsburg Copper
Company, the merger having been effected in 1911 by exchanging one
share of Calumet & Arizona stock for three and a half shares of
Superior & Pittsburg stock.
It is now building at Douglas a smelter of 2,600 tons capacity,
consisting of two 48x40-foot blast furnaces and five 19x1 00-foot re-
verberatory furnaces. The Cananea bedding system is one of the
features, and also the most modern sampling and crushing plant for
custom work in the southwest. The roasting plant consists of twelve
21 -foot Hereshoff roasters.
The production of the Calumet & Arizona Mining Company for
1911 was 49,945,905 pounds of refined copper.
The labor at the Calumet & Arizona mines is not organzied, the
Company paying better than union wages. A referendum vote on
the Australian plan was held in 1907 and it was decided by a majority
of four to one to continue the Bisbee district on the open shop plan.
The Calumet & Arizona Mining Company was the first mining com-
pany in the state to discontinue Sunday work. This decision became
effective in August, 1910, and is now T extending over the state.
The mines in Bisbee employ about 1,400 men. At the smelter at
Douglas about 350 men are employed operating, and at the present
time an additional 250 men are employed on the construction of
the new smelter.
The Calumet & Arizona Mining Company has the reputation of
being a fair mining company, and it is the only large mining com-
pany in the state that does not own railroads and operate a company
store. The management is considered excellent in every respect. A

The Patagonia District
THE PATAGOXIA DISTRICT, in Santa Cruz County, is rapidly ac-
quiring an important place in mining records, as phenomenal develop-
ments have been carried on during the past year, and great attention
has been attracted to this district. A number of the heaviest mining
operators and corporations have bought properties and undertaken fur-
ther developments and large amounts of ore are now being shipped to
reduction works, while the erection of plants for the reduction of ores
too low in grade to stand the cost of shipment is being contemplated,
and will doubtless be effected in the near future. The Chief group of
mines in this district has been taken over by the same people who de-
veloped the El Tigre mine, in Mexico, and they are developing on an
extensive scale, opening large and rich bodies of ore. The Phelps-
Dodge Company have recently taken over The World's Fair group
and are extending development. W. A. Clark, of the United Verde,
has bought the Trench mine, w T hich is also being extensively developed.
The great development made to date in the R. R. R. group has been
done by N. L. Amster of Boston, president of the Shannon Copper
Company, by whom it has recently been purchased. Mining opera-
tions have been conducted in this vicinity for many years, but general-
ly in a superficial way, not having been carried to any great depth,
which has led to a rather common belief that the conditions did not
warrant deeper development. Mining experts, however, and geolo-
gists have declared that indications point to profitable deep mining, and
recent results have borne out their assertions and the advent into this
field of operators of most thorough experience and capable judgment
says volumes for the latent mineral resources of the Patagonia Dis-
trict. Here has been presented an array of eminently practical and
successful mining operators who have been attracted to the region.
They have taken hold of promising properties in good faith and are pro-
jecting operations on large scales. The first mining done in this re-
gion was by the Franciscan friars, early in the 17th century, about the
time their missions were established. When the missions were aban-
doned at the time of the termination of Spanish rule in Mexico, early
in the 19th century, the mines were concealed and abandoned and the
records removed to Spain. About this time an uprising of the Apaches
caused the entire region to become desolate, by driving away the
[ N ARIZONA

miners. The operation of mining was resumed after the war with
Mexico and has since been carried on intermittently, hut no great
development has resulted.

Mohave County Mining
By Anson D. Smith
MINING, the principal industry, in Mohave County dates back to
the discovery of the Moss mine in the early 60's before the Territory
of Arizona was created and while that region was still within the
confines of Donna Ana County, New Mexico. The Moss vein and
mine is located four miles northeasterly from the Gold Road mine
and the report of the discovery soon attracted hundreds of pros-
pectors and miners from the gold districts of California and Nevada.
Some of the surface ores of the Moss and neighboring properties in
the Black or River Range, then known as the Blue Range, were
extremely rich, yielding handsome profits after the payment of ship-
ping expenses by pack train to the Colorado river, by river steamer
to Port Isabel, down the Gulf of California to Point Arena, up the
coast to San Francisco, thence to Swansea, Wales, for treatment.
Owing to the hostility of the Piute and Hualapai Indians, explora-
tions w r ere confined to 'a very limited district until 1865, when a
daring party of miners ventured into the Cerbat range, only to be
massacred, \vith the exception of one, on Silver Hill, where the town
of Chloride was later established and is now flourishing.
When the Territory of Arizona was created in 1864, Mohave
County became one of its four great political subdivisions. On the
admission of Nevada to statehood in 1865 that part of Mohave west
of the Colorado River was annexed to the Sagebrush State, and the
county seat was removed to Hardyville, ten miles northeasterly from
the Moss mine. With the discovery of rich veins in the Cerbat
range the county seat was moved to Cerbat, and later to Mineral
Park, where it remained until 1887, when it was removed to King-
man.
Mining in the Black and Cerbat ranges continued under very
adverse conditions until the construction of the Atlantic & Pacific
Railroad, when practically the first development below water level
was begun. Prosperity followed until the depreciation in the price
of silver, when attention was again turned to the gold deposits of
the Black or River range, resulting in the discovery of the Gold Road
and Tom Reed mines, to which, with the Golconda, the largest zinc
producer in the State, the present prosperity of Mohave County is
due. Besides these, many other properties of merit are in various
stages of development, adding much to the annual output of gold,
silver and zinc which is now attracting the attention of mining in-
vestors of this and other countries.

EVKRKTT E. ELLIN WOOD, senior member of the la\v firm of Ellin-
\vood iS: Ross, and general counsel for Phelps, Dodge & Co. interests
in Arizona, was born in Rock Creek, Ashtabula Co., Ohio, July 22,
1862. He is the son of John P. and Cornelia Sperry Ellinwood.
Having completed the common school course, he attended Knox Col-
lege for three years, after which he took the law course at the Uni-
versity of Michigan. Among his classmates there were numbered
several men prominent in national affairs. He was admitted to the
bar of Illinois in 1889. The following year he came to Arizona,
where he has since been prominently identified with his profession and
is generally recognized as one of the legal authorities of the State. He
was U. S. District Attorney from 1893 to 1898; he was a member of
the Constitutional Convention and aided in drafting a large portion of
that document, but refused to sign it o\ving to the provision relating
to the recall of the judiciary. He is a Democrat of the conservative
type, was a delegate to the National Convention in 1892, and Chair-
man of the Democratic Territorial Committee for two terms. He is a
member of the American Bar Association, of which he was Vice Presi-
dent for several years. He was also delegate to the Universal Con-
gress of Lawyers which met in St. Louis in 1904. Mr. Ellinwood has
been General Attorney for the El Paso & Southwestern System and
Phelps, Dodge & Co. interests in Arizona since 1906. From 1897 to
1911 he was Commissioner for Promotion of Uniform Law 7 s in the
United States. He was married November 17, 1886, to Miss Minnie L.
Walkley and to the union have been born two children Cornelia, a
student at Smith College, and Ralph E., who is taking a preparatory
course in an Eastern school.
JOHN MASON Ross, junior member of the firm of Ellinwood &
Ross, and son of Edwin and Mary McCoy Ross, was born in Davis
County, Indiana, in 1874. His father, whose regular occupation was
farming, served throughout the Civil War as private in an Ohio Regi-
ment, and was wounded several times. Mr. Ross received his early
education in the public schools of Ohio, and later attended Stanford
University, California, from which he was graduated in 1897 w r ith
the degree LL. B. Having been admitted to practice in California, he
entered the office of A. C. Freeman, San Francisco, a well known at-
torney and law writer, with whom he was associated about three
years. On coming to Arizona, he located in Prescott, where for sev-
eral years he was associated with John J. Hawkins, one of the State's
best know r n attorneys, after which he became a member of the firm of
Norris, Ross & Smith. Not only in Yavapai, where they handled a
large portion of the litigation involving grave complications, but
throughout the State, this firm attained prominence, and their practice
called them to the courts of the various counties. The firm of Ellin-

ern Railroad Company in Arizona, whose interests for some
years were looked after by the now senior member of the firm,
Mr. E. E. Ellinwood. When the duties of his position as gen-
eral attorney necessitated his securing a partner, Mr. Ellinwood's
choice in the matter was Mr. Ross, with whom he had formerly been
associated, and who has been a member of the present firm about three
years. Mr. Ross has served as President of the Arizona Bar Associa-
tion, was at one time President of the Yavapai Club, of Prescott, and

FRANK H. HEREFORD was born at Sacramento, California, on No-
vember 21, 1861. His parents a few years later, moved to Virginia
City, Nevada, and his home during the earlier period of his life was
in Nevada. His mother, Mary Jewel Hereford, dying when he was
six years old, most of his time was thereafter spent in California with
relatives and at school, until his 16th year, when his father moved to
Tucson, Arizona. Mr. Hereford's home has ever since that time
been in Arizona. He attended McClure's Academy at Oakland,
Santa Clara College at Santa Clara and the University of the Pacific
at San Jose, all of the State of California. He studied law in his fath-
er's office at Tucson, Arizona, and was admitted to practice in the
year 1885, and ever since that date has been practicing, maintaining
an office in the city of Tucson. He has made a specialty of mining and
corporation law, and is the regular attorney and chief counsel for a
number of the larger mining companies of Southern Arizona. He is

JOSEPH H. KIBBEY, who has held the highest positions of trust
and honor in the state, all of which he filled not only creditably but
with distinction, has been a resident of Arizona for many years. He
was born in Centerville, Indiana, March 4, 1853; he is the son of
John F. and Caroline E. Kibbey, and was reared and educated in his
native state. He was admitted to the bar in 1875 and continued the
practice of his profession there until 1888, when he came to Arizona
and located in Florence. Finely educated, possessing power of deep
concentration and the will to do, and coming of a line of men noted
in law, Judge Kibbey has come to have an immense law practice and a
name and reputation which reach far beyond the borders of the state.
In his native state his paternal grandfather was a judge for many
years, and his father was also a judge for twenty-five years. In 1889
he was appointed by President Harrison, Associate Justice of the Su-
preme Court, and while on the bench handed down what has become
known as the "Kibbey Decision," which refers to the use of water in
ditches and laterals, and was regarded so highly that it has been
copied in all the standard law books bearing on the subject. It has
been said that while on the bench, he had fewer reversals than any
other Arizona Judge. In 1893 Judge Kibbey moved to Phoenix,
where he has since resided. In 1902 he was elected by a good major-
ity to the Council of the 22nd Legislature, and though he was but
leader of the minority, he succeeded in doing much towards shaping
the legislation. He has also served twice as Chairman of the Terri-
torial Central Committee. In 1904 he was appointed Attorney Gen-
eral of Arizona, and held this position until 1905, when he was ap-
pointed Governor of the Territory. Judge Kibbey is a man who has
merited the commendation of the people in every phase of his career,
but in no way has he won more thorough or deserved appreciation
than through his service in behalf of the people of the Salt River Val-
ley in aiding them to secure the Tonto Reservoir and drafting the
Article of Incorporation of the Water Users' Association, which
brought such good results that it did more than all his other work to
bring him to popular favor. He was married January 10, 1877, to
Miss Nora Burbank. Mrs. Kibbey is known socially as a woman of
talent and a charming entertainer.
SAMUEL L. KINGAN, attorney-at-law, Tucson, was born in Pitts-
burgh, Pennsylvania, in 1867. He passed his early life in that city
and was educated in its public schools. Mr. Kingan took his law
course in the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, from which he was
graduated, and he was admitted to practice in 1889. Two years later
he came to Arizona, and he has since been the senior member of the
firms of Kingan & Dick and Kingan & Wright. During the years of
his residence here Mr. Kingan has built up an excellent practice and
has become prominent in legal circles, having been successful in the

conduct of some highly important cases, in both the local and United
States Court. Mr. Kingan is a Republican, and while he has never
held a political office, he has always taken an active interest in public
affairs. He was one of the Pima County delegates to the Constitu-
tional Convention, and served on the Judiciary, Schedule, Mode of
Amending and Miscellaneous Committees. He is a member of the
Masonic Order and belongs to the local lodge. He married Miss
Mary Tucker, of Illinois,, in 1889, and to the union was born one
daughter, Mary.
JOHN FRANKLIN HECHTMAN, senator from Gila County in the
First Arizona State Legislature, has had a varied career, having had
experience in law, government service, newspaper work, and mining,
the latter being now his chief occupation. Mr. Hechtman was born
in Erie County, Pa., in August, 1854, but in 1857 his parents removed
to St. Anthony's Falls, Minn., and in 1862 to Washington, D. C.,
where his father, Captain of Co. "K", 83rd Penn. Vol., was in the
hospital suffering from wounds received in battle. Here Mr. Hecht-
man served as messenger in the Treasury Department for more than
a year, as page in the House and Senate for five years, and afterward
was employed in the Coast Survey. He also attended public and pri-
vate schools and studied law in Washington. In May, 1875, he re-
turned to Minnesota, and remained there until the following March
and then proceeded to the Black Hills of South Dakota, but in June
of the same year located in Parrott City, Colorado, and engaged in
mining and prospecting. He spent the years 1878 and 1879 pros-
pecting in Arizona, but returned to Colorado. He had previously
been admitted to the practice of law in the Supreme Court of that
State, and in November, 1880, while performing the duties of five
county offices was elected judge of his county. Senator Hechtman
located permanently in Arizona in December, 1899, when he settled
in Globe. Shortly afterward he was admitted to practice in the state,
but he has never been actively engaged in legal work, his attention
having been devoted in the main to mining, though for a time he was
editor of the "Silver Belt". While he has been active in the inter-
ests of the Democratic party during his years of residence here, he has
steadfastly declined to become a candidate for office until the fall of
1911 when he was nominated for senator, and elected by a sweeping
majority. During the first session of the legislature the senator was
one of the notably quiet but thorough and successful workers of the
senate, and in his "Personnel of the Senate", his colleague, Senator C.
B. Wood, has said of Senator Hechtman's personality and work: "He
was one of the best liked men in the senate^always pleasant, accom-
modating, always pouring oil on the troubled waters, and always for
peace and good fellowship. As Chairman of the Judiciary Committee
and Chairman of the Committee on Counties and County Affairs, and
as a member of five other important committees, he did much splendid

work." Senator Hechtman is, in fact, a man whose courtesy, consid-
eration and refinement of manner are inherent qualities, and immedi-
ately recognized as such, while his ability, practical knowledge, and
thoroughness have made him one of the most valuable members of the
legislature. In the special session he has served as Chairman of the
Joint Code Revision Committee of the two houses and was an untir-
ing worker in this momentous cause. He was also a member of five
other committees, among which are the Judiciary and Style, Revision
and Compilation.
ARCHIBALD J. SAMPSON, attorney-at-law, and one of Arizona's
most noted citizens, has been recipient of more honors at the hands of
the Federal Government than any other man in the State. In 1887
he was appointed Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary
to Ecuador, which was the first diplomatic appointment in over sixty
years to a person living in a Territory. For ten years Mr. Sampson
acted in this capacity, and in 1907 resumed his residence in Arizona.
Mr. Sampson was born near Cadiz, Ohio, June 21, 1839. He was
graduated B. S. from Mt. Union College, Ohio, in 1861, and A. M.
in 1865, and in 1890 received the degree LL. B. from the same col-
lege. He took a course at the Cleveland Law College, from w 7 hich he
received the degree LL. B. in 1866. Having been admitted to the
bar in 1865, he practiced at Sedalia, Mo., until 1873, then he re-
moved to Colorado and practiced in Canon City and Denver for the
succeeding sixteen years, when he was appointed Consul at El Paso
del Norte, Mexico, and served from 1889 to 1893. He then came to
Arizona and located at Phoenix. Here he soon took the place as a
citizen, an attorney and a statesman, to which his natural endow-
ments entitled him and no man in Arizona today stands higher in the
esteem of his fellowmen. In 1873 Mr. Sampson was nominated for
the post of U. S. Consul at Palestine, but declined the honor, and in
1876 he was elected Attorney General of Colorado. He has always
been an ardent Republican and a strong factor in the party in general
as well as in local matters. He served in the Civil War as private in
the Union Army, from which he was advanced to the rank of Captain.
He is now a member of the G. A. R. and Past Deputy Commander
of the same. He is also a 32nd degree Mason and Knight Templar.
Mrs. Sampson was formerly Miss Frances S. Wood, -of Joliet, 111.,
and since her residence in Phoenix has become socially one of the city's
most prominent women.
LEROY ANDERSON, one of the most prominent attorneys in Ari-
zona, has been a resident of this state since 1893, when he came here

known as a corporation attorney, being counsel for the United Verde
Copper Company, Senator Clark's big mine, for the Consolidated
Arizona Smelting Company at Humboldt, and for the United Verde

what promises to be the largest privately owned irrigation project in
the Southwest. He is a prominent member of the Arizona Bar Asso-
ciation, in which body he has served as president, and of the Prescott
Auto Club. Mr. Anderson is a Republican, and a leader in his party
in Yavapai county. He is especially well known for the work done by
him as president of the Anti Joint Statehood Commission in 1906,
when he so successfully conducted the fight against joint statehood.
During the Spanish-American War, he was a member of the Fifth
Illinois Volunteers. Mr. Anderson is married and makes his home in
Prescott.
LOREN FELIX VAUGHN, attorney at law, a member of the firm of
Clark & Vaughn, of Phoenix, was born in Illinois, September 17,
1874. His early life was spent on a farm, attending only the com-
mon schools until he was eighteen years old, when he procured a
teacher's certificate, which he still deems the most highly prized docu-
ment he has ever received. After remaining two years longer assisting
his father in the handling of the farm, he began teaching school in an
adjoining district; with the money earned in this way he entered the
famous Illinois College at Jacksonville, Illinois, w r here he remained
one term then resumed teaching, this time in the neighboring State of
Missouri. He later attended the Chillicothe Normal College of Mis-
souri, graduating w T ith the degree of Bachelor of Science. His teach-
ing experience covers a period of ninety-eight months, all the way from
the "cross-roads" school to High School Principalship, and holds life
certificates in Missouri and Arizona. While teaching he began the
study of law, then took one year's work in the Missouri College of
Law at St. Louis, after which he entered the office of Col. H. M.
Phillips, of Poplar Bluff, one of the most able attorneys of the state;
passing the Missouri State examination, he was admitted to the bar
and practiced there for three years, then entered the law department of
Cumberland University at Lebanon, Tennessee, from which he has
the degree, LL. B. Mr. Vaughn came to Arizona in 1905, taught
school in Duncan, and his w r ife, w r ho was also a teacher, taught
at Franklin, a nearby district. He subsequently started the
Duncan Arizonian, which became one of the strongest weeklies in the
State, always active in the interest of purity in State, County and Na-
tional politics. In 1909 he was made Clerk of the Board of Supervis-
ors in Graham County. In 1910 he was one of the organizers of the
Duncan Telephone Company, of which he has since been secretary.
In April, 1912, Gov. Hunt appointed him with John J. Hawkins,
ex-Justice of the Supreme Court, and Hon. John T. Dunlap, as com-
missioners to select a site for the Industrial School. They chose for
the site the abandoned Federal Military Fort with buildings worth

During the campaign for delegates to the Democratic National Con-
vention of 1912, Mr. Vaughn was entrusted with the management of
Gov. Folk's interest in Arizona, being a personal friend of the famous
governor. He is a State Committeeman, and has the happy fortune of
having been in the Wilson procession working for Gov. Wilson's nom-
ination before the Baltimore Convention. Mr. Vaughn is the son of
Spencer Edwards and Sarah Jane Lamar Vaughn, and was married in

resided for many years. When he was thirteen years of age the
family removed to Kansas. Mr. Young has been practically self-
educated, and at the age of fifteen began teaching school at his home
in Kansas. Here, too, he studied law and was admitted to the bar
in 1890. He came to Arizona shortly after and for three years was
engaged in railroad construction, afterwards working as both fireman

and engineer on the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad. He was later
elected principal of the schools of Williams, in which position he
served four years and acquired the ownership of the "Williams News."
He was also associated with Captain William O'Neill in the promo-
tion of the Grand Canyon Railroad. O'Neill's death in Cuba left the
entire responsibility of the western interests in the proposition upon
Mr. Young, and it was through his efforts and sacrifices that the
road was built. In 1903 he became actively interested in mining and
has since done much towards the development of this one of Arizona's
resources, and is at present President and General Manager of the
Young Mines Company, Ltd., and the Madizelle Mining Company.
For several years he was Territorial Secretary of Arizona. Mr.
Young is prominently known throughout the entire State. In poli-
tics he is a Republican and takes an active part in the campaigns of
his party. He has for some time been generally spoken of as the
Progressive candidate for Governor at the coming election. From a
legal, business and political standpoint, Mr. Young stands deservedly
high in the esteem of his fellow citizens, and stands for pure religion
without regard to sect or church. Mr. Young was married Septem-
ber 26, 1900, to Miss Mary E. Smith, of Williams, Arizona. They
make their home in Phoenix.
A. Y. WRIGHT, attorney and capitalist of Douglas, is a native of
Iowa, the son of Lyman and Sarah Hagerman Wright, who were

Seminary, at Epworth, la., and afterwards attended the Northwestern
University at Mt. Vernon. Having been admitted to the bar in
1876, he practiced first in Nebraska, where he served a term as prose-
cuting attorney, and in 1890 went to California where again he
served as prosecuting attorney, having been appointed for one year.
He remained in California until 1904, when he came to Arizona and
settled in Douglas. During the short time that Judge Wright has
been here he has built up an excellent practice, and has become one of
the well kno\vn attorneys of the state. Besides being local representa-
tive of R. G. Dun & Company, the financial authorities, in which
capacity he has served for twenty-five years in various places, he is
attorney for the Pawney Mining Company, secretary of the Arizona

Washington, where he remained for six years. In 1894, however,
having been admitted to the practice of law, he was appointed to a
position in the Department of Justice, being made attorney in charge
of pardons. This position he held until 1901, when he removed to
Arizona, which he has made his permanent home. From 1902 to
1905 he served as Assistant United States Attorney for Arizona, which

trict of Arizona, retaining this position until Arizona became a State
on February 14th, 1912, when he resumed the practice of law in
Tombstone, the county seat of Cochise County, and the home of
Judge Doan. During his early years in Arizona his friends and him-
168 WHO'S WHO
self spent a large sum of money and much of their time and energy in
an effort to make a success of the South Gila Canal, which was in-
tended to irrigate 150,000 acres of valley and mesa land in Yuma
County ; and while the attempt failed at the time, through the con-
tinued efforts of some of his friends and Captain Woodworth, the
original promoter has enlisted a vast amount of French capital and
hopes the system will yet become a complete success. Judge Doan is a
Republican in his political views, and a Methodist in his religious af-
filiations. In 1873 he married Miss Anna Murray, daughter of Hon-
orable Samuel F. and Frances Murray, at Bowling Green, Mo. He

JUDGE ALBERT C. BAKER was born at Girard, Russell County,
Alabama, February 15, 1845, and is a graduate of the East Alabama
Male College. He served two and one-half years in the Confederate
Army as color bearer for Waddell's Battalion of Artillery. When yet
a young man he moved to Missouri, thence to California, and subse-
quently located in Phoenix, Arizona, in the early part of 1879 and
opened a law office. His skill and tact as a lawyer soon became com-
mon knowledge in Arizona and today he is practically without a rival
in the State in the conduct of a case before a jury. The published law
reports and the dockets of the courts bear abundant evidence of his
activities. Scarcely a case of great importance has been tried in the

State for a decade in which he has not appeared as counsel for one
side or the other. He was a delegate to the Constitutional Conven-
tion from Maricopa County and in that body was of great service to
the State. He espoused the cause of many of the new features in the
Constitution without becoming hysterical or dangerously radical.
Judge Baker was appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of
Arizona by President Cleveland and filled that high office for one
term with great credit to himself and great satisfaction to the people.
His written opinions are unaffected, short, simple, direct and blaze the
way so clearly that there is no room to doubt w r hat is precisely decided.
As a judge he was upright, honest and fearless. Judge Baker is
blessed w r ith the happy faculty of dressing up a thought in a way that
appeals with great force to the emotions. At a banquet before the
City Club of Phoenix he once paid a tribute that is worthy of preser-
vation to the pioneers of Arizona. He said : "The soldier leads an
assault in the blare of trumpets and the roll of drums. It lasts but a
minute. He know T s that whether he lives or dies immortal fame is his
reward. It is not so with the pioneer. When this soldier of peace
assaults the wilderness no bugle sounds the charge. The forest, the
desert, the savage beast and savage man lurk to ambush him; he
blazes the trails, fells the trees, turns the streams and plants his rude
stakes; his self-possessed soul keeps its fingers on his lips and no lamen-
tations are heard. When civilization joyously comes w T ith unsoiled
sandals over the trails he has blazed, and homes and temples spring up
on the soil he has broken, his youth is gone, hope is chastened into
silerce and he sinks into a dreamless bivouac under the stars. The
world merely sponges his name from the slate and self satisfied civili-
zation accepts his toil without compensation and frowns w T ith horror
at his rough and rugged ways. But he is content. The shadows of
the wilderness have been chased away, the savage beast and savage
man have fled, the fields ripen to yellow grain and seats of learning
and temples of w r orship dot the plains; the perfume of flowers and
songs of children gladden all the land and he smiles upon the younger
generation and is content."- By J. W. Spear.
ALEXANDER B. BAKER, attorney-at-law, junior member of the firm
of Baker & Baker, of Phoenix, was born in that city May 23, 1889,

admitted to practice in Arizona and entered his father's office as part-
ner. Mr. Baker is very well known among the younger attorneys and
coming of a line of able attorneys who reached the pinnacle of honor
in their profession, he seems destined to follow in their footsteps and

man, and his friends are legion. Frank M. Doan came to Arizona in
1888, his destination having been the hottest place in the State, where
his father was interested in an irrigation project. He attended the
common schools and afterward went to Leland Stanford University,
where he was graduated with the degree LL. B. in 1901 and admit-
ted to practice in the State of California. In 1903 he was admitted
to practice before the Supreme Court of Arizona and became asso-
ciated with Messrs. Hereford & Hazzard, of Tucson, where he re-
mained until he came to Douglas, in March, 1907. Mr. Doan is a
member of the Elks and Masons, and while in college was a member
of the Phi Delta Phi, a legal fraternity. He was recently married to
Miss Florence H. House, who has been identified with the social life
of Douglas for several years. The firm of Richardson & Doan has
been eminently successful and the relationship of the partners most
pleasant, but at the beginning of 1913 the partnership was dissolved,
and Mr. Doan entered into partnership with his father, Fletcher M.
Doan, of Tombstone, while Mr. Richardson has continued his general
practice in Douglas.

JAMES R. DUNSEATH, attorney at law and U. S. Commissioner,
was born in Belfast, Ireland, December 20, 1873, but at the age of
fourteen removed to Toronto, Canada, with his parents. He w r as
educated in the Ontario Model School of Toronto, and the Collegiate
Institute in connection with the
University of Toronto. Mr.
Dunseath then removed with his
parents to Michigan, where he
took up newspaper work and
finished his trade as a practical
printer. In 1898 he was gradu-
ated from the Detroit College of
Law with the degree of LL. B.
He was immediately admitted
to practice before the Supreme
Court of Michigan, and entered
upon the practice of his profes-
sion in Detroit. Later he took
the examination and was admit-
ted to practice in Ohio, and
forming a partnership with an-
other attorney, made Toledo his
headquarters. Business in con-
nection with some mining prop-
erties in which he was interested
necessitated his making a trip to
Morenci in 1902, and seeing the
wonderful opportunities afford-
ed in this state for a young man
of energy and experience, he de-
cided to make Arizona his fu-
ture field of effort. He located
Morenci and was admitted
in
to practice before the Supreme
Court of Arizona. For about
three years he was in charge of the Morenci Leader, which became a
power in Graham County politics. After recovering from an attack of
typhoid fever, his health requiring a lower altitude, he removed to
Tucson, where he was appointed to fill a vacancy as Deputy Clerk of
the District Court. This position he held for six months, and resigned
to take up the practice of law in the office of Mr. Frank Hereford,
with whom he was associated for several years. Mr. Dunseath makes
a specialty of land and mining law, and in this, as in corporation and
probate work, he is becoming recognized as one of the leading young
lawyers of the Southwest. In 1910 he again became Deputy Clerk of
the District Court, which office he resigned February 1, 1912. He
[ N ARIZONA

was Supreme Court Reporter from 1908-1912, which position he also
resigned upon the admission of Arizona to statehood, when he was
appointed U. S. Commissioner at Tucson. Mr. Dunseath is a member
of the K. of P. and Moose and an official in each, and a member of the
local Masonic and Odd Fellows lodges. In politics he is a Republican,
and has done excellent work for his party in both Graham and Pima
Counties. He married Miss Irene P. Hanavan, and they have one
son, James Elliott Dunseath.
DAVID BENSHIMOL, attorney at law, as a result of the activity
shown by him in behalf of the Progressive Party, has become one of
the best known men in the state, and to him is due in large part the
excellent showing made in the state, in Cochise County especially, by
his party. Versatile,
well read, possessing a
pleasing personality and
the ability to express
himself clearly and for-
cibly, he conducted a
great campaign in his
vicinity for the party
with which he affiliated
himself after the Chi-
cago convention ; and
despite the few years
that he has been in Ari-
zona, his influence was
a decided factor in the
showing made by the
Bull Moose party. Mr.
Benshimol was born in
Boston in 1866. He is
the son of Joshua and
C a r o 1 i ne Nettlinger
Benshimol, the former
having been a merchant
in his early days and
later a banker. He was
educated in Boston, was
graduated from the University of Boston, and an honor man in his
class. With his family he came to Douglas in 1908, and has since
made it his home. He was admitted to practice in the Supreme Court
in November of that year and has since built up a lucrative practice,
his mastery of the Spanish language making him especially well fitted
for practice in Southern Arizona, while his twelve years practice in
the Boston courts and his training, particularly as a corporation law-

yer, have stood him in good stead. Mr. Benshimol is fast making his
way to the front ranks of Arizona attorneys. He has long been a

186 WHO'S WHO
DR. THOMAS PEYTON MANNING, County Health Officer, comes
from a line of physicians, and numbers among his ancestors some of
the most prominent medical men of the Old Dominion State in the
pioneer days. His father, G. F. Manning, is the pioneer medical man
of Arizona, and during the time he has been practicing in Arizona,
more than twenty-five years, has always been noted for his ability,
ethical deportment and strict integrity. Dr. G. F. Manning has been
on the State Health Examining Board for fourteen years, has held
important positions in the Medical Association of Northern Arizona,
and is a member of the National Organization. Like his father,
Thomas Peyton Manning received his degree from the Medical De-
partment of the University of Alabama, and to him belongs the dis-
tinction of having been the youngest practicing physician in the state,
having taken the examination for license to practice at the age of
twenty-two, and he is by far the youngest to hold this important posi-
tion. He married Miss Frances Josephine Henry, the daughter of a
prominent insurance man of Oklahoma, and to the union has been
born one son, Frank Henry. Dr. Manning is a member of the Elks
and Masons, and is examining physician for several fraternal orders,
including the Modern Woodmen and Moose, and of several important
life insurance companies. Like his father, he is a hard worker, a close
student, and is recognized as one of the ablest young physicians in the
state.
DR. GEORGE FELIX MANNING, JR., was born in El Paso, Texas,
but has spent most of his life in Arizona. He is in charge of the
County Poor Farm and Hospital of Coconino County, which position
he has held for some time. He practices with his father and brother,

excellent practice and became one of the most eminent and popular
physicians of the county. He also served as City Health Officer of
Nogales, and Superintendent of Public Health for Santa Cruz Coun-
ty. In April, 1912, Dr. Kingsley assumed the position of superin-
tendent of the insane asylum, and during his first year in this position,

FRANCIS H. REDEWILL, Physician and Surgeon, is an excellent ex-
ample of the advantages gained by thorough preparation in one's
profession or life work. He was born in Virginia City, Nevada, in
1879, but as the family removed to California a few years later, it
was in that State he received his fundamental education. He attended
the common schools and was graduated from the Vallejo High school
in the class of 1898; four years later, having completed the course in
the College of Chemistry, he received a B. S. degree from the Uni-
versity of California. He matriculated at Johns Hopkins Medical
College in the fall of 1902, and in 1906 received his diploma there,
standing third in a class of more than one hundred. As a further
preparation for his work he then acted as interne in the Roosevelt and
Methodist Hospitals, New York, after which he took a special course
of study in Europe. Returning to America, he went to Fort Bayard,
New Mexico, where he did research work in tuberculosis at the
Government Hospital and later took a special summer course at the
Manhattan Hospital, New York. In all of his work he has made a
particular study of diseases of the nose, throat and lungs. After a
year's work in the office of Dr. Wylie, of Phoenix, he opened his
own office at No. 118 North First Avenue, that city, where he has
since practiced. In ^pril, 1911, Dr. Redewill married Miss Helen
Beatrice Munn in Paris. The Redewill family have taken a promi-
nent part in the social, civic and professional life of Phoenix, all being
well known musicians and members of the Redewill Music Company.
Dr. Redewill during one summer vacation while a medical student
played a clarionet in the Marine Band of Washington, doing solo
M'ork. One brother is a violinist of note and composer, and his
sister is taking an advanced course in music abroad. Of the remaining
two brothers, one is a graduate of the University of California in
Electrical Engineering, a cornet soloist, and President of Redewill
Music Company, while the youngest is a graduate of the New Eng-
land Conservatory of Music, Boston, and expert tuner of pianos and
pipe organs. His parents are also \vell known in musical circles. His
maternal grandfather, Anson Clark, was a California "Forty-niner."
His paternal grandmother was one of the pioneer educators of Bos-
ton. His grandfather, a marine merchant, having lost his life on one
of his own ships sailing between South America and France, his
grandmother brought their son, Augustus Redewill, to America,
where he was given an excellent education. He became one of the
pioneer business men of Phoenix, having founded the Redewill Music
Company more than thirty years ago. The paternal grandfather of
Augustus Redewill knew Napoleon intimately and was a captain in
his army. During his school and college career Dr. Redewill held
several track records and was with the U. of C. team that in 1902
won in the North and East from Princeton and Yale. He is a mem-
ber of the National Medical Association, National Society for the

The Valley Bank
THE VALLEY BANK was organized in 1883 with a capital of $50,-
000, and Colonel William Christy as cashier. In four years, how-
ever, the capital was increased to $100,000, and in 1890 Colonel
Christy w T as chosen its president, which position he held until the time
of his death. At that time included in its directorate were E. J. Ben-
nitt, now president, and Lloyd B. Christy, now cashier. This bank
occupies the only exclusive banking building in the city, which is of
colonial architecture and strictly modern in all its appointments. It is
constructed of reinforced concrete. During the life of The Valley
Bank it has been the constant aim of its management to aid in the up-
building of the state and city, and there one is accorded the utmost
courtesy in every department. In the five years elapsing from 1907 to
1912, the deposits of The Valley Bank increased from less than $600,-
000 to more than two and one-half millions, and having a capital and
surplus of $250,000, The Valley Bank is unquestionably the largest
bank in the state. This was the first bank in Phoenix to open a
savings department, and for the five years in which this department
has been in operation over seven hundred thousand dollars have been
deposited in it, and the depositors number over thirty-five hundred,
which is due evidence of public confidence and appreciation. Its of-
ficers at present are : E. J. Bennitt, president ; John R. Hampton and
John Ormsby, vice presidents; Lloyd B. Christy, cashier, and S. H.
Stewart and Lebbeus Chapman, assistant cashiers. These officers,
with a strong board of directors, and the confidence which the bank
now enjoys insures for it many years of continued prosperity.
COLONEL WILLIAM CHRISTY was a man of the noblest and strong-
est character, and no man among Arizona's makers had a wider vision
of her possibilities or a stronger faith in her future. For this reason,
there were in those days, none who needed to be sustained in their
hope of ultimate reward, aided through financial straits, or encouraged
in any way in their work in early time Arizona, who did not receive
help, if fortune brought them in contact with Colonel William
Christy. His beautiful country home, one and one-half miles out of
Phoenix, was ever conducted on a most generous plan, and here the
old-fashioned traditional hospitality was dispensed. Around his board
one met the man of affairs who needed counsel, the stranger who
needed to be made welcome, and the young person who needed the
protection of home affiliations in the new country not occasionally
but in the regular course of living, as the habit of the home was to
entertain in this whole-souled, cordial manner. Colonel Christy plan-
ned and worked with dauntless courage and purpose, along every line

of development of the commonwealth, and he was the maker of the
Valley Bank, the greatest financial institution in the state, of which
his son, Lloyd Bennett Christy is at present cashier.
Colonel Christy was born in Trumbull County, Ohio, February 14,
1841, and was thirteen years of age when the family settled on a farm
near Osceola, Iowa. There he finished his education and began to
teach school at the age of seventeen. At the age of twenty he was a
member of a regiment organized to protect the border in the Civil
War. During the war he was injured a number of times and spent
three months in a hospital at Newman, Ga., and for more than three
years >"^ter his return home he was obliged to carry his left arm in a
sling. Colonel Christy obtained his first banking experience in H. C.
Sigler s Bank in Osceola, where he remained five years, and of which
he became cashier. He then served a term as Treasurer of the State of
Iow r a, at the close of which he became cashier and a director of the
Capital City Bank of Des Moines, and while in this position assisted
in organizing the Merchants National Bank of that city. Owing to
poor health, about that time Colonel Christy found it desirable to
seek a more genial climate, and in 1882 he came to Arizona. He pur-
chased a ranch near Prescott, where he lived eighteen months, during
which he regained his health. He then purchased a farm west of
Phoenix, consisting of 440 acres, and on this he made his home until
the time of his death. He was actively interested in farming and
stock raising, and realizing the need of irrigation, he was director in
three canal companies and vice president of the Arizona Canal Com-
pany. In the matter of fruit raising Colonel Christy was a pioneer
and demonstrated that a fine grade of oranges and peaches could be
grown in the Salt River Valley, and was thus instrumental in develop-
ing an industry that has grown with each passing year. He was, in
fact, a potent factor in the advancement of Arizona, the industries as
well as the financial inte ?sts having been benefiitted by his sound
judgment and wise foresight. Religious, philanthropic and educa-
tional movements, too, have been the beneficiaries of his constant re-
gard and their welfare been promoted by his watchful oversight. In
politics Colonel Christy was a steadfast Republican, and he served as
Territorial Treasurer under Governor Irwin, and t\vice he was chosen
Chairman of the Territorial Republican Committee. In the years to
come when Arizona shall have forged ahead to a position of eminence
and have attained to a higher rank among the states of the union, the
name of Colonel William Christy will be given a high place in the
archives of its history and his influence upon the material and moral
interests of the country will be thoroughly recognized by an apprecia-
tive posterity. On August 22, 1866, Colonel Christy married Miss
Carrie E. Bennett, a native of Illinois and to the couple were born
five children, of whom Lloyd B. is the oldest. The other members oi
the family are George, Shirley, Carroll and Carrie.

WHO S WHO
E. J. BENNITT, the president, has been connected with the bank
since its organization, being called to the presidency in 1907. His
able and conservative management has been materially felt in the
growth of the bank. He was born in New York State in 1853, and
completed his college education at Union College, Schnectady, N. Y.
At his graduation as a civil engineer he came to Arizona by ox teams
across the plains in 1875. From that time until 1883 he engaged in
various occupations, principally mining, farming and merchandizing,
when he came to Phoenix w r ith Colonel Christy and joined him in
organizing the Valley Bank. Air. Bennitt was also one of the organ-
izers of The Phoenix National Bank. Mr. Bennitt has always taken
an active interest in the development of the section and is the head of
a large realty company.
LLOYD B. CHRISTY, cashier of the Valley Bank and Mayor of Phoe-
nix, is one of the best known bankers in the state, and has had
numerous honorary positions in the different bankers' associations of
which he is a member. At present he is the treasurer of the State
Bankers' Association. Mayor Christy is the oldest son of Col. Wil-
liam Christy, head of the Christy family in Arizona, and like his dis-
tinguished father, is a man of high ideals and great force of character,
and has the confidence and esteem of all with whom he comes in con-
tact in business, official or social life. He is practically in charge of
the Valley Bank, the greatest financial institution in Arizona, and it
is due to the Christy family's influence that the institution has
reached its present exalted position.
Lloyd Bennett Christy was born in Osceola, Iowa, and received
his early education in the schools of that state, having been graduated
( rom the Des Moines High School. The excellent training of the
owa schools was supplemented by a course in the University of Cali-
fornia, from which institution he w T as graduated, being among
those receiving high honors. Mr. Christy is one of the leaders in the
civic life of Phoenix. As Mayor he has made an excellent record,
introduced a number of reforms, established a system of economies,
and judiciously directed expenditures. As a result Phoenix is one
of the best governed, and in many w T ays one of the most attractive,
cities in the country today. Gambling and vice have been practically
stamped out, and civic reform has reached a high stage owing to
Mayor Christy's strict enforcement of the laws. As a scion of this
most noted pioneer family he is a prominent factor in the social life
of Arizona, and his beautiful home on Center street is presided over
by one of Phoenix's most popular and estimable matrons, Mrs. Mary
E. Culver Christy, a descendant of another prominent family of
Arizona. Mr. and Mrs. Christy were united in marriage December
25, 1898, and to the union have been born four attractive daughters,
Mary, Doris, Margaret and Katherine.

JOHN M. ORMSBY, vice president of the Valley Bank, has been
connected with western commercial enterprises since his early boyhood.
He started in as letter boy for the Wells Fargo Express Company at
Sacramento, spending some years with the company and being pro-
moted several times until he attained the position of express messenger.
He then took up railroading as assistant paymaster of the Southern
Pacific Company at San Francisco, continued with this corporation for
a number of years until he accepted a position with the Western
Union Telegraph Co., and came to Arizona in 1887 to become man-
ager of their office at Tucson. For twenty years he remained with
this corporation. He resigned his position with the Western Union to
become cashier of the Arizona National Bank, of Tucson, and for
sixteen years was a prominent figure in the commercial and financial
life of the Old Pueblo. For a number of years he had been a heavy
stockholder in the Valley Bank, and a member of its board of directors,
but did not take an active part in its management until early in 1913,
when he was elected vice president, removed his family to Phoenix,
and has since been assisting in the active management of the largest
bank in the state. During his long residence in Arizona, Mr. Ormsby
has been a leader in all affairs pertaining to the educational develop-
ment of the state and served as a member of the Board of Regents un-
der four different governors. He was the second secretary appointed
to the University of Arizona, and his work has been instrumental in
the upbuilding of this institution. Despite his activity as an educa-
tor, banker and businessman, Mr. Ormsby is best known for the part
he has taken in the fraternal life of Arizona, having been Past Grand
Master, Past Grand High Priest, Past Grand Commander of the
Knights Templar of Arizona, and six times he has been Master of
Tucson Lodge 4, F. & A. M. Mr. Ormsby is a native of the Key-
stone State, having been born at Greensburg, Pennsylvania, October
9, 1851. His parents were John S. and Jane Hindman Ormsby. He
was united in marriage to Miss Ella Gorham, member of a prominent
old New England family, and to Mrs. Ormsby 's influence and assist-
ance is largely due the success attained by Mr. Ormsby.
JOHN R. HAMPTON, attorney, banker and cattleman, chosen as one
of the electors to cast the first ballot for the State of Arizona for
president, has been prominent in the affairs of this state since he came

his parents, John W. and Louise Hudson Hampton, being descendants
of well known Southern families. After having received the benefit of
the public schools he was graduated from the University of Mississippi,
afterwards attending Georgetown University, from which he was
graduated with an LL. B. degrees in 1890. He spent several years in
Washington, D. C., where he held different positions, and came to
Clifton in 1901. Here he engaged in the real estate business, as well

SIDNEY H. STEWART, assistant cashier of the Valley Bank of Phoe-
nix, Arizona, was born in Boston, Massachusetts, January 12, 1885.
It was in that city he received a public school education and later on
received his commercial training in the Bryant & Stratton Commer-
cial School. He came west in 1902, secured a position as collector in
The Valley Bank, of Phoenix, and the fact that he is still connected
with this institution, and has continued to advance, grade by grade to
the responsible post of assistant cashier, demonstrates clearly that he
has been very successful in his chosen profession. He was appointed
to his present position in 1908. Mr. Stewart is Assistant City Treas-
urer in Phoenix and a director of the Phoenix Board of Trade. He is
a Mason and took a prominent part in the affairs of the order and
held several offices until the responsibilities of his position as assistant
cashier required so much of his time that it was necessarv for him to

tenant, and showed such marked military ability, that he was pro-
moted to the position of Adjutant of the Third Battalion, which he
held for some time. He was later placed on the retired list, after
having served seven years in the National Guard of Arizona, and dur-
ing this period his work was such as to win the commendation of his
superior officers. He was united in marriage to Miss Nellie E. Bat-
tin in January, 1912, and they have one son, Sidney H. Stewart, Jr.
Mrs. Stewart was formerly a teacher in the Phoenix Union High
School and takes a prominent part in the social affairs of the city.
LEBBEUS CHAPMAN, Assistant Cashier of the Valley Bank, the
largest bank in Arizona, acquired his fundamental knowledge of bank-
ing in the very best school the country affords, one of the large na-
tional banks of New York City, The American Exchange National
Bank, where he accepted a minor position w T hen but 16 years of age.
Here he remained to advance step by step until he became Assistant
Credit man, a position which in New York City requires not alone a
thorough knowledge of the banking business, but a complete knowl-
edge of conditions in general and the ability to understand mankind.
Mr. Chapman was born in Englewood, N. J., October 6, 1877, and
204 WHO'S WHO

Sergeant. After his return from the Spanish American War he made
New York City his home until 1909, when he removed to Colorado,
and in 1910 he removed from there to Cheyenne, Wyoming, in both
of which cities he held responsible positions in large national banks.
His best judgment, however, was gradually gaining the ascendency,
and in March, 1911, he came to Arizona and settled in Phoenix.
Here his eminent business qualifications soon won for him the high
esteem of all those with whom he has come in contact and his wisdom
is apparent from the fact that he has chosen a practically new field in
which to give ample scope to his ability and wide experience in bank-
ing work. Mr. Chapman was married September 17, 1902, to Miss
Lillian Louise Bebus, and they have one daughter Lillian Louise
Chapman.
LEMUEL C. SHATTUCK, General Manager of the Shattuck Mine
and President of the Miners and Merchants Bank, is a native of Erie,
Pa., where he was born January 5, 1866. Mr. Shattuck was reared
and educated in the vicinity of his birth and lived there until he was
about seventeen years old. His ancestors came to America and
were among the very old settlers of the New England colonies, and
from there his paternal great-great-grandfather removed to Pennsyl-
vania. It has ever been characteristic of those who bore the name
that they succeed in the lines to which they devoted their special ener-
gies and they have invariably been noted for enterprise and progress.
Mr. Shattuck's maternal ancestors were among the early Holland
settlers in Pennsylvania. At the age of seventeen, when Mr. Shat-
tuck started out to make an independent livelihood, he landed in a
short time in what is now Cochise County, and for several years lived
on the plains and in the mountains, handling cattle and dealing in
water rights and ranches. He also devoted some of his time to pros-
pecting. He reached Bisbee in 1888, worked in the Copper Queen
mine where he remained until 1890, when he engaged in lumbering.
In the same year he was married to Miss Isabella Grenfell, and they
have since made their home in Bisbee. Their family consists of four
sons and two daughters. In addition to the business associations above
mentioned and his interests in Sonora, Mexico, Mr. Shattuck is
President of the Cochise Development Company, Director in the
Bisbee Improvement Company and the Bisbee-Naco Water Com-

pany, and Treasurer and Director of the Denn Arizona Company.
He also served as member of the first City Council of Bisbee, and of
the Board of Supervisors of Cochise County. Politically he is a
Democrat, and he is an active member of the B. P. O. E. Thirty
years a resident of Arizona, the greater part of which has been spent
in his present surroundings, and having seen the County of Cochise
formed and develop into what it is today, Mr. Shattuck is rightfully
reckoned one of the best informed men on all matters of importance
of which Cochise can boast.
The Bank of Bisbee
THE BANK OF BISBEE, one of the largest banks in the state, and the
first one established in Cochise County, was organized in January,
1900, and authorized under the Territorial Bank Act to commence
business. For some years prior to its organization the Copper Queen
Store acted as depository, as a matter of accommodation, and in various
capacities assumed responsibilities ordinarily assumed by banking
houses only, until this became too heavy a tax upon their time and
force. Then, recognizing the necessity of a safe depository for funds
of corporations and individuals, the following gentlemen organized
The Bank of Bisbee, which commenced business on February 19,
1900: W. H. Brophy, J. S. Douglas, Ben Williams, J. B. Angius, and
M. J. Cunningham. The capital stock of $50,000 was all paid in be-
fore the bank was opened for business. Its success was immediate, as
each member of the board of directors \vas well known in the com-
munity, and the confidence then displayed in their integrity and ex-
ecutive ability has been more forcibly shown with each succeeding
year. The. Bank of Bisbee is safe, conservatively managed, meets the
wants of its patrons as liberally as good banking customs will permit,
and stands for all that is reliable and trustworthy. It has its own
building designed expressly for banking purposes, in which are incor-
porated safety deposit vaults, and which is amply protected by all the
safeguards necessary in banking houses. The officials and directors
stand foremost among the eminent and substantial men of Cochise
County. Mr. Cunningham, who has been cashier since the opening of
the bank, is one of the ablest men in banking circles in Arizona, and a
man whose executive ability has manifested itself in many ways in his
present position. Mr. W. H. Brophy is president and also general
manager of the Phelps Dodge Mercantile Company. Mr. J. S.
Douglas is vice president, and a son of Doctor James Douglas, presi-
dent of Phelps Dodge & Co., and one of the big mining men of the
state. The directors are: Ben Williams, J. S. Douglas, L. D. Rtck-
etts, W. H. Brophy and M. J. Cunningham.

WHO S WHO
M. J. CUNNINGHAM, cashier of The Bank of Bisbee, was born in
San Francisco, August 9, 1873, but has been a resident of Arizona
since 1881, when his parents, Thomas J. and Frances Cashman Cun-
ningham, removed to the Territory and located at Tombstone. Mr.
Cunningham was edu-
cated in the -public
schools of California
and Arizona, at St.
Vincent's College, Los
Angeles, and St. Mich-
ael's College, Santa Fe,
New Mexico, from
which he was graduat-
ed. After leaving col-
lege he held various
clerical positions until
1900. He then became
interested in the organi-
zation of The Bank of
Bisbee, was elected one
of its board of direc-
tors, and chosen cashier
of this bank, which po-
sition he has since filled
most ably. In banking
circles, Mr. Cunning-
ham is now counted
among the ablest men
in the state, and he has
served as president of
the Arizona Bankers'
Association. He w r as
also one of the original
locators of the city of
Douglas; is secretary and director of the Bisbee-Naco Water Com-
pany; director of The Bank of Bisbee, The Bank of Douglas and The
Douglas Investment Company. In politics, a Democrat, he has
served as both chairman and secretary of the Cochise County Central
Committee, and although actively interested in his party's workings,
has never held an official position. Fraternally he is a member of the
Knights of Columbus, Bisbee Council, and of Bisbee Lodge 671 B. P.
O. E., of which he has been exalted ruler, and also District Deputy
G. E. R. of Arizona. Mrs. Cunningham, formerly Miss Mary I.
Goodbody, sister of Mrs. W. H. Brophy, of Bisbee, died on Decem-
ber 24, 1912. Their family consists of three daughters and three
sons: Ellen, Mary Isadore, Florence, M. J., Jr., Francis and William.

C. O. ELLIS, Cashier of the Bank of Douglas, the leading bank of
the Smelter City, has been a potent influence in this bank's advance-
ment to its present high standard. On coming to Arizona in 1895
Mr. Ellis located in Prescott, where he secured a position as book-
keeper in the Prescott National Bank, with w T hom he was employed
seven years, and was gradually advanced to the position of Assistant
Cashier, so that his knowledge of the banking business in general was
both thorough and practical, and the ability he displayed was such as
to win for him a reputation that spread far beyond the confines of
Yavapai. In 1902, when The Bank of Douglas was planned, Mr.
Ellis was selected by the organizers to attend to the details of the
organization of this institution and has since been Cashier of The
Bank of Douglas, which was the first bank opened for business in
the city.
This bank was incorporated under the laws of the Territory with
an authorized capital of $50,000, of which sum $25,000 was paid in
before the opening of business, July 19, 1902, and shortly increased
to $35,000. The management of The Bank of Douglas is much the
same as that of The Bank of Bisbee, and is as follows: James S. Doug-
las, president, and William H. Brophy, vice president. Its immedi-
ate success was so striking as to set at rest all doubts regarding the
stability of the town and gave to Douglas a financial standing equal
to that of many older cities with much greater population. Its success
has also been continuous and the business of the bank has increased
year by year. In its directorate are some of the most prominent busi-
ness men and capitalists of the county, whose policy has been to fur-
nish good service, among them being the above named officials, and
M. J. Cunningham, cashier of The Bank of Bisbee, S. F. Meguire, E.
R. Pirtle, and F. T. Wright. The assistant cashiers are Frank H.
Fisher and Eustice C. Piper. Its popularity has also been greatly
enhanced by the courtesy, liberality and public spirit displayed by all
of the officials. They transact a general banking business and have
special facilities for financial operations in Mexico, and Northern
Sonora in particular, and offer their services to the public with all the
liberality consistent with the exercise of sound judgment.
Mr. Ellis is a native of Wisconsin, and was born in Mari-
nette in 1873, where he was educated in the public and high
schools. His father, C. J. Ellis, was a native of Maine, who had
removed to Wisconsin to engage in the lumber business, and before
coming to Arizona, Mr. Ellis had been employed in a clerical position
with a large lumber firm at his home. He is a member of the Douglas
Water Commission, President of the Country Club, and has been
President of the Arizona Bankers' Association. Mr. Ellis was mar-
ried in 1897 to Miss Charlotte Wheeler, of Prescott. They have one
daughter, Margaret.

The Prescott National Bank
THE PRESCOTT NATIONAL BANK was organized and obtained its
charter from the national government on January 25th, 1893, having
a paid in capital of $100,000.00. F. M. Murphy was elected presi-
dent, Morris Goldwater, vice president, and R. C. Woodruff, cashier.
On January 25th, 1913, an extension of its charter for another
period of twenty years was granted by the Comptroller of the Cur-
rency. The present board of directors is composed of F. M. Murphy,
M. Goldwater, F. G. Brecht, James A. Home, H. A. Cheverton and
R. N. Fredericks. The officers of the bank are composed of the fol-
lowing: R. N. Fredericks, president; M. Goldwater, first vice presi-
dent; F. G. Brecht, second vice president; H. A. Cheverton, cashier;
L. C. Derrick and P. H. Deming, assistant cashiers. Of the original
organizers and members of the first board of directors, three gentlemen
are now on the present board, namely, F. M. Murphy, Morris Gold-
water and R. N. Fredericks.
The Prescott National Bank, by its progressive, yet prudent and
conservative methods, has been a large factor in the upbuilding of
Prescott and surrounding country. The individual members of the
board of directors are men known for their activity in the development
of the resources of this section, particularly in railroading, mining and
commercial pursuits, and it is due to their efforts that the Prescott Na-
tional Bank is now one of the strongest national banks in this state.
To the original capital of $100,000.00 it has added a surplus fund
of $100,000.00 and undivided profits of $110,000.00, which assures
its directors that all funds entrusted to its care are in absolutely safe
and reliable hands and has won for the bank the confidence of its cus-
tomers.
The Prescott National Bank owns its solid and substantial banking
house, one of the finest in Arizona, which is thoroughly equipped with
fire and burglar proof vaults, safe deposit department and all modern
conveniences, so necessary to the careful handling of its large and
constantly growing business.
R. N. FREDERICKS, president of The Prescott National Bank, presi-
dent of the Bank of Jerome, and vice president of the Commercial
Trust and Savings Bank, was born on the Island of Heligoland
(Great Britain) on March 13th, 1855. He came to Prescott from
San Francisco in April, 1878, since which time the City a Mile High
has been his home. While not active in politics, he served four years
as the Democratic member of the Territorial Board of Equalization
under the administration of Gov. N. O. Murphy. In Masonic circles
Mr. Fredericks has been very active, having for a number of years be-
longed to the so-called "Old Guard". He was Grand Master of
212 WHO'SWHO
Masons during 1895, Grand High Priest of Royal Arch Masons
during 1897, and Grand Commander Knights Templar during 1898,
at present holding the office of Grand Treasurer of the Masonic
Grand Lodge. Mr. Fredericks is also quite prominent in the affairs
of the Arizona Bankers' Association, being elected its first president in
1903.
MORRIS GOLDWATER, vice president of Prescott National Bank and
Mayor of Prescott, is also a member of the firm of M. Goldwater &
Bros., leading merchants of the Southwest, with stores at Prescott and
Phoenix. He is also one of Arizona's best known citizens, staunchest
Democrats, and ablest business men. He was born in London, Eng.,
in 1852, but in 1854 his parents arrived in California, where they re-
mained until 1861, when they came to Arizona and settled at La Paz.
There his father engaged in business, and in 1871 they opened a store
in Phoenix. Mr. Goldwater has always taken an active part in bank-
ing interests and is now secretary of the State Bankers' Association.
He has also served for many years as treasurer of this association. In
1873 he was nominated for the legislature by the Democrats of Mari-
copa County, but the election proved a tie. During his residence in
Phoenix, Mr. Goldwater was instrumental in having the military
telegraph line built into the city, furnished room and instruments and
was the first operator. In 1876 he located in Prescott, his present
home. He is now serving his third term as Mayor, and has been a
member of the City Council during several terms. He has also been
a member of the Board of Supervisors and Board of School Examiners
of Yavapai County, and of the Territorial Board of Equalization. He
was member of the Council in the Twelfth Legislature, Chief Clerk
of the House in the Thirteenth, and President of the Council in the
Twentieth. Mr. Goldwater was a member of the First Democratic
Convention held in Arizona, and in the Legislature was an indefatig-
able worker for his county and constitutents. It has ever been noted
that Mr. Goldwater's relations with those among whom he worked,
whether politically or otherwise, have been exceedingly harmonious,
while his sense of justice and of what is due the other side have been
the occasion of many a flattering, but deserved comment. He is an
active and learned Mason of the thirty-second degree, member of the
Mystic Shrine, and Past Grand Master of the order in Arizona. He
is also a member of the Elks and State Treasurer of the association.
H. A. CHEVERTON, cashier of the Prescott National Bank, son of
Edwin George and Emily Granger Cheverton, of Illinois, was born
in Monmouth, Illinois, February 7, 1876. He was educated in the
public schools of Chicago, and has been employed in various capacities
in banks since completing his education. For some years he was em-
ployed with the First National Bank, Chicago, and later, came west,
located in Los Angeles, and was employed by the First National Bank
IN ARIZONA 213
of that city. As cashier of the Prescott National Bank, one of the
most important and soundest institutions in the state, Mr. Cheverton
maintains a leading place among bankers in Arizona. He is an active
member of the Masonic order, and belongs to Azatlan Lodge, F. & A.
M., Prescott Chapter No. 2 Royal Arch Masons and Ivanhoe Com-
mandery, Knights Templar, Prescott. In politics he is a consistent
Democrat, but by no means a politician. He is married and makes
his home in Prescott.
F. M. MURPHY, President of the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix
Railroad, was born in Maine, but reared and educated in Wisconsin,
and has been identified with important interests in Arizona since
1877. Mr. Murphy inherited the solid and substantial traits charac-
teristic of the New Englander and has developed in life the energy
and enterprise peculiar to the Westerner. Though he has wielded a
strong influence in the development of many of Arizona's important
resources and his interests have been varied, he is best known through
his association with the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix R. R., the
success of which is due, in a large measure, to his wise judgment and
boundless energy. He has been connected with this road from its very
beginning. The success attained by the Congress gold mine, of which
he was first superintendent, can also be attributed, in a great degree
to his foresight; as he placed the affairs of the company on a profitable
basis, and under his management $8,000,000 worth of gold was
taken out of it. He, together with his particular friend, Mr. R. N.
Fredericks, and others, founded the Prescott National Bank. Mr.
Murphy was president of the bank from its organization in 1893,
until 1910, when he was succeeded by Mr. R. N. Fredericks. Mr.
Murphy is still a director in the bank. Since coming to Arizona Mr.
Murphy has made Prescott his home, and has done much for the im-
mediate good of the town. He is a director of the Chamber of Com-
merce ; was the builder of the Yavapai Club, and one of its first presi-
dents. Here, too, he has a splendid home and is owner of several fine
buildings. He is reputed to have brought more money into Arizona
for investment than any other one man in the State. The ability he
displayed in the successful management of his road during the panic
of 1893 attracted widespread attention and gave him a position among
the recognized financial giants of the country.
As president of the Development Company of America, a holding
company with many large undeveloped interests, a position he was
prevailed upon to take in addition to his many other duties, he fell
heir to a lot of trouble, as the company, due to a combination of un-
avoidable circumstances, failed, forcing upon him the presidency and
management of many subsidiary companies whose properties were in
process of development and most of which were financially embar-

rassed. He never shirked the new responsibilities and if spared his
health will yet prove to the satisfaction of all concerned that the subsi-
diary companies should not, and would not have failed, had they
received the little additional support that they had to have.
Mr. Murphy's interests in Arizona are varied and much good will
accrue to the State when the different enterprises with which he is
connected are again in active and successful operation.
Mr. Murphy expects, with the help of his associates, as soon as the
Mexican revolution is over, to build what is known as the Arizona,
Mexico & Gulf of California Railroad, which, with the Panama
Canal completed, will prove to be one of the most, if not the most
important influence contributing to the up-building of Arizona.
Mr. Murphy is for Arizona first, last and all the time.
L. C. DERRICK, assistant cashier of the Prescott National Bank,
was born in Camden, N. J., September 29, 1879. His parents, Wil-
liam Franklin and Anna Matilda Derrick, subsequently removed to
Moorestown, N. J., and there Mr. Derrick was graduated from both
grammar and high schools. He then attended Swarthmore College,
adjacent to Philadelphia, from which he was graduated. His first po-
sition was with the Girard National Bank, one of the largest and
oldest banks in the city of Philadelphia, and there he served in vari-
ous capacities, meantime securing his fundamental knowledge of bank-
ing and advancing from one position to another. Mr. Derrick came
to Arizona the beginning of April, 1905, and has since been a resident
of Prescott, and was there married to Miss Helen Morey. Mr. Der-
rick is a member of Azatlan Lodge No. 1, F. & A. M., Prescott.
PAUL H. DEMING, assistant cashier of the Prescott National Bank,
was born in Colon, Panama, December 25, 1880, of American par-
ents, Sylvester and Sara E. Deming. Mr. Deming was educated in
the public schools of New York City and graduated from the high
school, after which he took a college preparatory course. His first
position was in the New York office of the Panama R. R. Co., which
was followed by a position with the N. Y. C. & H. R. R. Co., and
he was later employed for several years as assistant national bank ex-
aminer in New York City. Mr. Deming has been in Arizona since
July, 1907, his first occupation here having been at Jerome as clerk
with the United Verde Copper Company. From Jerome he went to
Prescott to accept a clerical position with the Prescott National Bank,
and has recently been promoted to the position of assistant cashier.
Mr. Deming married Miss Winifred Fredericks, of Prescott.

WHO S WHO
The Consolidated National Bank
THE CONSOLIDATED NATIONAL BANK, Tucson, is the oldest and
largest bank in the city, and in its history is interwoven a portion of
the history of many of the ablest financiers in the Southwest. The
first bank in Tucson was The Pima County Bank, organized in the
early seventies, which subsequently became known as The First Na-
tional Bank of Tucson. The Bank of D. Henderson was later organ-
ized, and in 1887, The First National Bank of Tucson, having sur-
rendered its charter some years previous and become The Bank of
Tucson, was merged with the bank of D. Henderson, and thus was
formed the Consolidated Bank of Tucson. M. P. Freeman, who had
been cashier of The Bank of D. Henderson, was instrumental in this
consolidation and became cashier of the newly formed bank, while
Mr. B. M. Jacobs, organizer of The Pima County Bank, and until
recently president of The Arizona National Bank, was the first presi-
dent, and Mr. D. Henderson, first vice president. Shortly afterwards
a national charter was obtained and the name changed to The Con-
solidated National Bank, by which it is now known. In 1898, owing
to ill health, Mr. Freeman retired from The Consolidated National
Bank, and the following year, having fully recuperated, was one of
the prime movers in the establishment of the Santa Cruz Valley Bank.
In 1895 he again became associated with The Consolidated National
Bank as its vice president. At that time H. E. Lacy was president,
and H. B. Tenney, cashier. On Mr. Lacy's retirement from the presi-
dency, Mr. Freeman was elected to this position, which he continued
until late in the year 1910. During the latter year, Mr. Charles E.
Walker, now cashier, was first employed with this institution as as-
sistant to President Freeman, and at the close of the year on the lat-
ter's retirement, a reorganization of the officials followed, when
Albert Steinfeld became president, Epes Randolph vice president, and
Charles E. Walker, cashier. During Mr. Freeman's later association
with The Consolidated National Bank his influence on its development
was material both in a personal way and as regards the benefits de-
rived from his superior knowledge of financial affairs, sound judg-
ment, and general executive ability. The Board of Directors of this
institution includes the above named officials, Mr. Freeman, F. H.
Hereford, Charles H. Bayless and Leo Goldschmidt.
The Consolidated National Bank is a U. S. Depositary and con-
tinues to grow with most gratifying results. Its last statement, dated
Feb. 4, 1913, shows total resources amounting to considerably more
than two millions, and deposits of almost one and three-fourths mil-
lions. The capital stock of the bank is $100,000, with a surplus of
the same amount and undivided profits of $50,000.

While sound banking principles and reliability are the keynote of
the success attained by The Consolidated National Bank, its contin-
uous policy of employing thoroughly capable assistants in each depart-
ment, and of according to the public the utmost courtesy, has been a
valuable aid toward this end.
MERRILL P. FREEMAN, LL. D., pioneer, financier, and retired
business man of Tucson, has been a resident of that city during the
past thirty-two years, and during this time has attained to a promi-
nence in the financial, educational, political and fraternal life of the
state that is rarely equalled in the span of one man's life. Dr. Free-
man was born in Ohio, in February, 1844, but was removed to Iowa
\\ith the family when but three years of age, and crossed the plains to
California by ox team when he was but eight years old. The latter
trip, now to be made by rail in three days, then required five months,
during which he rode horseback, driving loose cattle until his pony was
stolen by the Indians. His playmates for the first few years of resi-
dence in California were only little Indian boys. In 1857 Dr. Free-
man went by steamer from San Francisco via the Isthmus to the east,
where he took a four years' academic course, and returned to Califor-
nia, as before, by ox team, this trip requiring the same length of time
as the previous one, and although but seventeen years old, he did
regular guard duty against the Indians. In 1862 he removed to Ne-
vada, w T here, during the larger part of a residence of eighteen years,
he was engaged in mining and banking. He also served as agent for
the Wells Fargo Express Company at a number of points, and had
charge of the western end of their overland stage line at the time of
the completion of the Central Pacific Railroad, in 1869. At various
times during his residence in Nevada he held offices of political trust
and honor, among which were Regent of the University, Receiver of
the U. S. Land office, Postmaster, county treasurer and chairman of
the Republican County Central Committee. In the winter of 1880-
1881 he came to Arizona on mining business, and located at Tucson.
In 1884 he was appointed postmaster of that city, but resigned this
position in 1887 to accept the position of cashier of the Bank of D.
Henderson. As cashier of the Bank of D. Henderson, he began what
has proven to be one of the most notable and influential financial re-
cords in Arizona's history. This bank w r as afterwards consolidated
with the Bank of Tucson and subsequently became the Consolidated
National Bank, and during most of the intervening years it has had
the benefit of Dr. Freeman's wisdom and foresight and has been
guided to its eminent success largely because of adherence to his sound
banking policy. In 1888 he severed his connection with The Consoli-
dated National Bank, retiring for a time from active financial duties,
and later established the Santa Cruz Valley Bank, now the Arizona
218
W H O S WHO

National Bank, another of the state's soundest institutions. In 1895
he returned to his former field of effort, The Consolidated National
Bank, as its president, and until compelled by a nervous breakdown
in 1911 to retire, continued in the president's chair. Many years of
close application to business in various lines had so impaired the health
of Dr. Freeman that it seemed the part of wisdom to dispense with
some of his arduous duties, and since then, although generally recog-
nized as "retired," he is a keenly alive man of affairs, whose influence
is still felt and whose advice is still sought on matters of importance.
During the fifteen years Dr. Freeman was president of the Consoli-
dated National Bank the deposits increased from something more
than $100,000 to one and one-half millions, which, in addition to being
an important factor in the history of the bank, is a high tribute to its
management.
In 1889 Dr. Freeman became closely associated with the University
of Arizona as a member of the Board of Regents, which position he
has since filled at intervals for a total of sixteen years, ten of which he
served as chancellor. At one period, at the earnest solicitation of the
governor, resigning as chancellor of the University to fill a term on
the Territorial Board of Equalization, he was subsequently returned to
his old position as chancellor. In 191 1, on nomination by the governor
of the state, he was invested with the degree of LL. D., "for constant
and conspicuous service to the state and university, for devotion to
every detail of his high office as regent and chancellor."
In 1870 Dr. Freeman was made a Mason, and has since received
every degree in Masonry to and including the thirty-third. He has
been Grand Master of two separate jurisdictions, Nevada and Ari-
zona, an unusual distinction, and President of the Association of Past
Grand Masters of Arizona.
During his years of residence in Arizona, Dr. Freeman has taken
an especial interest in its very early history dating back to Corona-
do's expedition of 1540 a fondness for which has developed into what
may well be termed a hobby, and has acquired an extensive and valu-
able library on this subject, consisting of more than 400 volumes, some
of which are very rare and from one to two hundred years old, many
of them out of print and very difficult to get. What disposition will
ultimately be made of this valuable collection, Dr. Freeman has not
definitely decided, other than that it will never be permitted to leave
Pima County. In knowledge of early events in the history of the
southwest, he probably has no superior in the state, his store of infor-
mation along these lines keeping pace with his accumulation of ma-
terial bearing on the subject.
Having lost his wife, father and mother many years ago, Dr. Free-
man makes his bachelor home in Tucson at the Old Pueblo Club,
which he was largely instrumental in establishing.

WHO S WHO
Albert Steinfeld
IN ARIZONA 221
ALBERT STEINFELD, president of the Consolidated National Bank
of Tucson, has been connected with banking and financial institutions
for a number of years, but it is only during the past three years that he
has become actively identified with actual banking business. Having
had many years of experience in the mercantile business as the presi-
dent and general manager of the large concern which bears his name,
he is in a position to know the financial wants and needs of the public.
Mr. Steinfeld has been a stockholder in banking institutions in Los
Angeles, San Francisco, El Paso and other cities of the Southwest.
He has also been a member of the board of directors of these institu-
tions and was influential in their affairs. Three years ago he was
elected president of the Consolidated National Bank, the oldest and
largest bank in Tucson, and has since given his entire attention to
the bank, his son and brother-in-law, H. J. Donau, having assumed
charge of the mercantile house of Albert Steinfeld & Co.
Albert Steinfeld is a native of Germany, having been born in Han-
over, December 23, 1854. His training and education have been
obtained mainly in this country, however, as the family removed to
New York City when Albert was but eight years of age, and he re-
ceived a liberal education in the public schools. In 1869 he obtained
a position in a large dry goods house, retained the same about two
years and then came west. He located first at Denver, where he was
employed by his uncle in the same line, but in January of 1871, he
proceeded to Tucson, which has since been his home. Here he at
once became connected with the house of L. Zeckendorf & Co., con-
trolled by his uncles, Messrs. A. and L. Zeckendorf, and after several
years of faithful service, was admitted to the firm and for years was
resident partner and manager.
Mr. Steinfeld, being an alert and courteous business man, soon be-
came immensely popular in commercial circles in and about Tucson,
was elected president of the Chamber of Commerce and later vice
president of the Board of Trade when it supplanted the Chamber of
Commerce, and has long been recognized as the head of mercantile
interests in the vicinity.
Mr. Steinfeld has long been identified with the various large
industries in Southern Arizona, and no man has been in closer
touch than he with the development of its resources, not only of
enterprises with which he is directly or indirectly connected, but by
sound advice and assistance afforded in numerous ways to others.
The present firm of Albert Steinfeld & Co. is one of the greatest in
the state, in general merchandise, and their stock is complete and of
excellent quality. The relations existing between the firm and their
employes are most admirable. Mr. Steinfeld is prominent in Ma-
sonic affairs, with which he has been connected for many years. He
was married February 15, 1883, in Denver, Colo., to Miss Bettina V.
Donau, daughter of Simon Donau, of San Francisco, formerly a man-
ufacturer of San Francisco, who died in Los Angeles several years ago.

brother, John Stuart Bayless, are the other members of B. & B. Co.
Mr. Bayless was graduated from Highland College in the class of
1884, was valedictorian, and has received the degrees of A. B. and A.
M. On leaving college he came to Arizona, where he assisted his
father in organizing the live stock business, of which he is now head.
In 1885 he returned to his home and became assistant cashier in the
banking house of J. P. Johnson, one of the very few millionaires in
Kansas at that time. Later he accepted a call to the chair of mathe-
matics in his Alma Mater. Upon the sudden death of the president of
the institution Mr. Bayless was made acting president and for two
years had full charge of all college work. He then resigned in order

to take post graduate work at The Johns Hopkins University. Before
completing his course there he was called to Arizona by the illness of
his father and in 1892 he decided to give up his college career and de-
vote his time to business. Always interested in educational matters,
Mr. Bayless has served the University of Arizona as member and
treasurer of its Board of Regents under Governors Brodie, Kibbey and
Sloan. His earliest business experience was banking and for several

Some of the choicest irrigated lands in Pima County belong to Bay-
less, Berkalew & Co., and its high bred cattle have long commanded
the fanciest prices. Mr. Bayless is unmarried and makes his home
with his brother at his elegant residence on University Avenue.
LEO GOLDSCHMIDT, president of the Eagle Milling Company,
Tucson, and director of the Consolidated National Bank, was born
in Hamburg, Germany, September 16, 1852. He was educated there
in the public schools and came to the United States when seventeen
years of age, went immediately to New Mexico and for a number of
years lived in Santa Fe. He came to Arizona in 1877 and has since
been a resident of Tucson. There he was first in the employ of L.
Zeckendorf & Co., then became established in the furniture business,
in which he continued for several years, and in 1887 he sold out and
purchased an interest in the flour mill in Tucson then owned by E. N.
Fish. One year later he bought out the entire interest of Mr. Fish
and the business was incorporated under the present firm name, The
Eagle Milling Company, which, from a very small beginning has
developed into the largest mill of its kind in Arizona. The mill im-
ports grain from both east and west, but uses as much of the Arizona
product as is obtainable. Not only does the mill manufacture flour,
but it does also a large business in feed and grain. The management
is noted for the fairness and liberality with which it treats its em-
ployees, and the payroll is large, adding considerably to the prosperity
of Tucson. Alfred J. Goldschmidt is associated with his brother in
the business and is vice president of the corporation, of which they
own most of the stock. Monte M. Mansfeld is secretary. Leo
Goldschmidt is active in civic, political, social and fraternal circles.
He is a member of the Masons and B. P. O. E.

The Phoenix National Bank
THE PHOENIX NATIONAL BANK, one of the safest and most intel-
ligently conducted in the State of Arizona, was organized in 1892.
Its capital stock paid in is $150,000, and its surplus and undivided
profits amount to close to $200,000, while its total resources aggre-
gate almost two and three-quarters millions. The list of assets of this
bank contains a notable item in the total of its loans and discounts,
amounting to about half of its funds, which indicates how well the in-
stitution serves the commercial and agricultural interests of the com-
munity. For years this bank has had a leading place on the roll of
honor among National Banks in the United States.
Physically the bank is equipped in a manner both modern and con-
venient in offices in the center of the business district of Phoenix, and
is easy of access to tourists and residents alike. The Phoenix National
Bank is one of the specially designated depositories for funds of the
United States Government, has the patronage of many leading busi-
ness and professional men, firms and corporations, and by means of its
system of direct communication maintains close relations with Arizona,
New Mexico, and adjacent districts in Old Mexico. Its facilities for
making collections are especially good and the prompt attention ren-
dered affairs of its correspondents causes its services to be exceptionally
satisf acton r . In 1905 this bank was designated a depositary for funds
of the United States Government and its disbursing officers.
The stockholders of The Phoenix National Bank are owners of The
Phoenix Savings Bank and Trust Company, which commenced busi-
ness in 191 1.
The Phoenix Savings Bank and Trust Company, whose capital and
surplus amount to $150,000, has practically the same stockholders and
is under the same management as The Phoenix National Bank. It is,
however, an entirely separate organization from The Phoenix Na-
tional Bank, and occupies entirely different offices. This institution
receives savings accounts upon which 4%, interest is paid, acts as trus-
tee and is empowered to perform all the duties of executors, adminis-
trators, guardians, trustees, committees and the like. It also acts as
escrow agent, registrar, fiscal agent and trustee for corporations and
their bondholders. The officers of the savings bank are: H. J. Mc-
Clung, president; T. E. Pollock and M. C. McDougall, vice presi-
dents; and W. C. Foster, secretary and treasurer.
The officers of The Phoenix National Bank are: H. J. McClung,
president; T. E. Pollock and M. C. McDougall, vice presidents; H.
D. Marshall, Jr., cashier; H. M. Galliver, G. G. Fuller, asst. cash-
iers. The directors are E. B. Gage, H. T- McClung, T. E. Pollock, M.
C. McDougall, H. D. Marshall, L. H. Chalmers, J. S. Douglas, W.
A. Drake and W. F. Staunton. In this list are included some of the
most important financial, commercial and professional interests of the

state. Mr. Pollock is president of the Arizona Central Bank of Flag-
staff, and Mr. Douglas president of The Bank of Douglas, while Mr.
Chalmers is one of the state's most prominent attorneys, and Mr.
Marshall, cashier, is a former national bank examiner.
H. J. McCujNG, of Phoenix, Arizona, president of the Phoenix
National Bank, and president of the Phoenix Savings Bank & Trust
Company, is one of the best known bankers in Arizona. He was born
in Hennepin, Illinois, August 24, 1869. His parents were James S.
and Lois Clark McClung. After having finished the public school
course in Pueblo, Colorado, he started his career as a banker, taking a
position as collector in the First National Bank of Pueblo. He work-
ed through the different departments to the position of assistant cash-
ier, which he resigned in March, 1902, and came to Arizona to take a
position as cashier of the Phoenix National Bank. He was made vice-
president in 1904, succeeding Thomas W. Pemberton. After having
held this position for eight years, he was elected president, April 12,
1912, succeeding E. B. Gage. Under his management, the Phoenix
National Bank has become one of the strongest financial institutions in
the Southwest.
Mr. McClung has taken an active part in the civic life of Phoenix
and has also been prominent in state affairs. He was a member of
the board of directors organized to promote the Arizona State Fair
and the success of this venture was largely due to the efforts of himself
and his colleagues in its behalf. He was on the first paving committee
appointed in Phoenix, and has taken much interest in the promotion
of this and other improvements in his home city.
He was united in marriage with Miss Mattie M. Drake and to
the union have been born two children, Nellie and Billy.
M. C. McDouGALL, vice president and director of the Phoenix
National Bank and vice-president and director of the Phoenix Sav-
ings Bank & Trust Company, was born in Ontario, Canada, October
31, 1858, and spent his boyhood there. After having completed the
common school course of the County of Bruce, he was graduated from
the high school and later spent three years in Saint Catherine's Colle-
giate Institute near Niagara Falls, Ontario. He came to the United
States in January, 1883, and started in the general merchandise busi-
ness in Heppner, Oregon. Six years later, he moved to Puget Sound
and for another span of six years was engaged in the mercantile busi-
ness in that section. The following two years he spent in travel. He
came to Arizona in 1897 and since that time has been actively identi-
fied with the business, social, fraternal and civic life of Phoenix. He
established the McDougal & Cassou Co., clothiers, furnishers and
men's outfitters, which for sixteen years has ranked as one of the best
230
W H O S W H O
of its line in the Southwest. During a large part of the time he has
spent in Phoenix, he has been identified with the hanking business.
He was one of the organizers of the Phoenix Savings Bank & Trust
M. C. McDougall
Company, which is affiliated with the Phoenix National Bank. At
the annual meeting held in January, 1911, he was made vice-president
of both banks, and since that time has devoted most of his time to
these institutions. Through his long association with the leading
professional and business men of Arizona, he has become thoroughly
familiar with the financial situation and his appointment to this posi-
tion has proven most beneficial to the bank. Mr. McDougall is of
Scotch descent, his parents, Coll and Ann Clark McDougall, having
been among the pioneer Scotch settlers of Ontario.
HUGH D. MARSHALL, JR., cashier of the Phoenix National Bank

Louis. While with this institution, he demonstrated such financial
acumen that he was enrolled in the government service as bank exam-
iner. He came to Arizona in 1907 as receiver of the Globe National
Bank, which had been closed during the panic. After having suc-
cessfully reorganized the affairs of this institution, he was appointed
national bank examiner for Texas, New Mexico and Arizona and
served three years. He became cashier of the Phoenix National Bank,
January 18, 1912. Mr. Marshall ranks high as a financier and has

The National Bank of Arizona
THE NATIONAL BANK OF ARIZONA, the oldest bank in Phoenix,
was established in 1878, and in 1887 was chartered as a national bank
under the name of the National Bank of Arizona, with a capital stock
of $100,000. The capital stock has been increased, however, until
it now amounts to $200,000. The history of this bank has been one
of steady progress, because of the ability and wisdom of its manage-
ment which have won the entire confidence of the public, individual,
firm and corporation.
The National Bank of Arizona conducts its business on the ground
floor of their own building, which is built of brick and concrete, four
stories high, and situated on the corner of Central Avenue and Wash-
ington Street. Their counting rooms have been especially designed
that the business may be carried on with the greatest degree of ease
and safety to customers and the bank itself. Every precaution known
in banking circles has been taken, and their massive steel vaults are
time locked, fire and burglar proof. In addition to that essential in
banking, The National Bank of Arizona has the advantage of a large
capital, sufficient to meet all requirements, and an able and efficient
management under honest and conservative officials.
The active officers of this bank are all substantial men and well
known in Phoenix and vicinity, men of the highest standing as regards
integrity and real worth. Emil Ganz, president, has been a resident of
the Valley for more than thirty years, and at the head of the bank's
affairs for about seventeen years. S. Oberfelder, cashier, came to
Phoenix from Omaha sixteen years ago to accept a position as assist-
ant cashier, and in 1897 he was elected to his present position. His
conduct of affairs during these years is, of itself, sufficient evidence of
his knowledge of banking and general ability. These men, together
with Charles Goldman, vice president; W. H. Kay, Ed Eisele, J.
Thalmeimer and Jacob Miller, form the board of directors. These
are all among the representative business men of the vicinity whose
sterling worth adds a note of assurance to the bank's reliability.
EMIL GANZ, president of the National Bank of Arizona, Phoenix,
was born in Germany, August 18, 1838, and in 1858 came to Ameri-
ca. In his native country he w T as educated in the public schools, and
at the age of fourteen was apprenticed to a tailor, and having become
a journeyman tailor, he worked at his trade in the vicinity of his home
for several years. On coming to this country he worked for several
years at his trade in New York City and Philadelphia, and later mov-
ing to Cedartown, Ga., conducted a business of his own. While resid-
and in the latter place, he attained to prominence in the community,
and was appointed postmaster for a term. During the Civil War Mr.

Ganz served for more than three years in the Confederate Army, and
was engaged in some of the most important battles, and at the defense
of Richmond, and for seven months was a Federal prisoner. When
peace was declared, Mr. Ganz located for a short time in Quincy, 111.,
and removed to Kansas City, where he was engaged in tailoring and
gents' furnishing business for several years. From 1872 to 1874 he
was similarly engaged in Las Animas, Colorado, and since the latter
year has uninterruptedly been a resident of Arizona. Locating first in
Prescott, he successfully managed the Capitol Hotel until 1887, when
he came to Phoenix and became proprietor of the well known hotel
Bank Exchange, which was destroyed by fire in 1885. In 1895 he be-
came interested in the National Bank of Arizona, and was elected its
president, which position he has since held. The National Bank of
Arizona is now one of the largest and most prosperous banks in the
state, and its president one of the best known and highly esteemed
bankers of the Southwest, and to his judgment and ability is due much
of the success which this institution has met with. Mr. Ganz has also
been interested in insurance work, and has represented several of the
largest fire insurance companies. A staunch Democrat, he has enjoyed
the highest regard of the best political element of the locality, of which
he has received evidence by having been three times elected to the office
of Mayor of Phoenix and as member of the city council. In his ad-
ministration of municipal affairs Mr. Ganz displayed a broad knowl-
edge of the requirements of the office, and by means of his tact and
ability as a leader, won the confidence and admiration of his towns-
men. He is a prominent member of the Masonic order, in which he
has attained the thirty-second degree. Mrs. Ganz was formerly Miss
Bertha Angelman, of New York City.
SIMOX OBKRFELUER, cashier of The National Bank of Arizona, has
been identified with the financial life of Arizona during the past seven-
teen years, and during this time has aided in bringing this bank to its
present state of efficiercy. Mr. Oberfelder came to Arizona to take
the position of assistant cashier of The National Bank of Arizona,
and the next year, having shown such marked ability, was promoted
to the position of cashier, which carries with it practically the man-
agement of the institution. Mr. Oberfelder is a native of Germany
and was born in 1857. His parents were Meyer and Babetta Hellman
Oberfelder. Mr. Oberfelder was given the benefit of the excellent
school system of Germany. He also had a college course. He spent
several years in different eastern states and came to Arizona from
Omaha, where he had been connected with one of the strong firms of
that city. He has been a leader in the civic and financial life of Ari-
zona and ranks as one of her most able financiers. He was married to
Miss Fannie M. Ran, the daughter of a well known Federal officer of
a Kentucky regiment in the Civil War. Mr. Oberfelder is a member
of the Masons.

JOHN J. SWEENEY, assistant cashier of the National Bank of Ari-
zona, was born in Australia in 1859, but he came to America before
he was one year old, and so may be considered practically an Ameri-
can. His parents, John and Catherine Arno Sweeney, came to San
Francisco in 1860, and he had the benefit of the common schools of
California, as well as three years in Saint Mary's College in San Fran-
cisco. Shortly after this, he came to Arizona and has taken a leading
role in the commercial, financial and civic life since that time, but he
is best known as a banker. He started in as bookkeeper at the Na-
tional Bank of Arizona and was promoted from time to time until he
reached his present position, that of senior assistant cashier, in 1898.
He is the general agent of the United States Fidelity & Guaranty
Company, and is also connected with a number of the prominent com-
mercial enterprises of this city. For a number of years he was proprietor
of several meat markets with headquarters in Phoenix, and this ven-
ture, like the others with which he has been affiliated, was entirely
successful. He is one of the best known fraternal men in the South-
west, and is Past Grand Master of the F. & A. M. of Arizona; Past
Grand High Priest of the Royal Arch Masons of Arizona; Past
Grand Commander of Knights Templar of Arizona; Past Potentate
of the Shrine of Arizona, and Past Grand Patron of the Order of
the Eastern Star. Mr. Sweeney has always taken much interest in the
betterment of school affairs and for a number of years served as school
trustee. He was united in marriage to Miss H. Lillian Kelly, De-
cember 21, 1887, and they are the parents of two children, Mrs. J. B.
Rice and Paul Sweeney.
LESLIE H. RHUART, assistant cashier of the National Bank of Ari-

in Los Angeles and then studied law in Phoenix. He was appointed
general agent of the New York Life Insurance Company for Arizona
and Sonora, but resigned to devote his time to real estate. He took a
clerical position in the National Bank of Arizona and in January,
1912, was appointed assistant cashier. Mr. Rhuart was born in
Mason City, Iowa, in 1874. His parents are John Holmes and
Eunice L. Bowley Rhuart. He was married to Miss Emma C. Hoel-
scher in May, 1912. Mr. Rhuart has two children, John Holmes and

Charles Goldman
CHARLES GOLDMAN, vice president of the National Bank of Ari-
zon, Phoenix, has been a resident of Arizona for forty-two years, and
of the city of Phoenix all but five years of that time. At the time of
his arrival in Phoenix not a frame or brick store had been erected and
but few in that day, and those of exceptional foresight, would hazard
a prediction that it would develop into the prosperous city it is today.
In the city's growth and development in every way Mr. Goldman has
been a strong influence. Born in Bavaria, Germany, October 17,
1845, he received a practical industrial education in the schools of his
native country. In the spring of 1866 he came to this country, and
the first year was employed in Philadelphia. He then went to Cali-
fornia by way of the Isthmus of Panama, and remained there until
1871, when he came to Arizona. He first located in Prescott, and
then was engaged in general merchandise in the Williamson Valley.
This business was disposed of to purchase the business of his brother
in Phoenix, and another brother joining him in this enterprise, the
firm of Goldman Brothers was formed. He also became interested in
ranches and cattle and gradually increased his holdings in these in-
dustries, which proved to him a marked success financially. He helped
organize The National Bank of Arizona, and for many years was one
of its Board of Directors. He has also been an active member of the
238
WHO'S WHO
Phoenix Board of Trade. In politics, a Democrat, but not an office
seeker, his entire time has been devoted to his personal business
and the healthy interests of his home town. Mr. Goldman was mar-
ried in 1881 to Miss Sarah Fleishman, whose father, Benjamin Fleish-
man, was one of the pioneers of California. Their family consists of
Rose Bell, Sidney and Eugene Goldman.
First National Bank of Nogales
THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF NOGALES, one of the most reli-
able financial institutions in Arizona, was organized about ten years
ago and numbers among its directors and shareholders some of the
most enterprising men of the town. Its cash capital is $50.000, sur-
plus and undivided profits $65,000, and deposits but little less than
$500,000. While its business is conducted along safe and conserva-
tive lines, its policy has always been broad and liberal. The First
National Bank is depository for public funds of Nogales, the County
of Santa Cruz and for the United States. The funds of the Post-
office, the Immigration Office, and the Custom House are also depos-
ited with this institution. The record made by this bank is one of
which the directors and officers may well be proud, and during the
panic of 1907 it was one of the few banks in the state which met all of
its obligations without hesitation or reservation.
The reputation of The First National Bank of Nogales for per-
manence and stability is thoroughly well known over all Arizona, and
no one circumstance has ever done more to establish a high standard
for any financial institution than the able manner in which this bank
coped with the wants of its customers during the trying period refer-
red to by its announcement that it knew no limit short of the total

where, and when presented at the bank itself, were cashed with
alacrity. Its record in this particular has given it a place among the
sound and solid financial institutions of the country and in the estima-
tion of the entire business and commercial world that is treasured
among its most valuable assets.
The First National Bank conducts the usual Exchange and Collec-
tion business in addition to the regular banking lines, and in every
way is especially accommodating to customers. It also conducts a
safety box department for deposit of valuable documents, bonds,
money, jewels, etc., and a Mexican department for the buying and
selling of Mexican money. This bank has a large and extensive busi-
ness down the West Coast of Mexico. The Directors are Theo.
Gebler, E. Titcomb, Phil Herold, Bracey Curtis, L. Lindsey and H.
M. Clagett. Bracey Curtis is president; Phil Herold, vice president;
Otto H. Herold, cashier.. Beside a strong and liberal policy in the

best interests of the town of Nogales. Mr. Curtis, the president, and
Mr. Otto H. Herold, the cashier, have served as members of the
Nogales Council, and Mr. Grover Marsteller, one of the clerks, is
Town Clerk. Mr. Curtis is also chairman of the Fire and Water
Committee, and has been for years Chief of the Fire Department.
BRACEY CURTIS, president of the First National Bank of Nogales,

old New England stock which was prominently identified with the
great manufacturing interests of the East. Mr. Curtis has been a
resident of Arizona about 13 years, which he has lived in Nogales.
He was first associated with the First National Bank of Nogales as
cashier, and his judicious administration in this capacity was an invalu-
able aid to the bank in its early days. This bank has established a
reputation for solidity and ability to meet emergencies that can not be
excelled by the oldest banks in the country, regardless of size or loca-
tion. Mr. Curtis was the delegate from Santa Cruz County to the
Constitutional Convention, elected on the Republican ticket, and
served on the Legislative, Private Corporations and Banks Commit-
tees. He is a public spirited man and has given much of his time and
effort to the building up of the community in which he resides, especi-
ally in the capacity of President of the Nogales Board of Trade. He
has also been Chief of the Fire Department, consisting of volunteers,
which has by means of his training developed into a splendid organi-

his home and St. Benedict's College, Atchison, Kansas, from which he
was graduated. His first position was as bookkeeper in Kansas City,
and his next at St. Joseph, Missouri, and the latter one he resigned to
come to Arizona, where his brother, Phil Herold, now Recorder of
Santa Cruz County, had been located for a number of years, and was
then serving as Deputy Recorder of Santa Cruz. Otto Herold's first
position in this state was on the Yaqui River, but after a short period
he secured a place as bookkeeper in The First National Bank of No-
gales, w r ith which he has since been associated. He was later advanced
to the post of Assistant Cashier, and four years ago to his present
position, in which he has earned the reputation of being one of the
best informed and most capable banking men in the state. Mr.
Herold married Miss Carmelita Marsteller, a native of Nogales. He
has served two terms as member of Nogales Council, and was Chair-
man of the Financial Committee.

Navajo-Apache Bank & Trust Co.
THE NAVAJO-APACHE BANK & TRUST Co., whose head office is
at Winslow, and branches at Holbrook and St. John, is the outgrowth
of a small bank which was organized in 1900 by W. H. Burbage and
Fred Nelson. This was known as the Navajo County Bank, and was
established at Winslow with a capital of but $10,000. Mr. Burbage
was president, and Mr. Nelson, vice president. In 1905 these same
gentlemen organized the Apache County Bank & Trust Co., at St.
Johns, of \vhich Mr. Nelson was vice president and cashier. Four
years later the two were consolidated under the name "The Navajo-
Apache Bank & Trust Co.", which began business with a paid-in
capital of $100,000. This is the largest bank in the northern part of
the state, and from its beginning has met with general favor because
of its sound and liberal policy.
WILLIAM H. BURBAGE was born in New York City in 1854, but
having lost both parents when but seven years of age, the greater part
of his education was acquired in a Catholic institution in Ohio, where
he grew to manhood and laid the foundation for a successful business
career. In 1878 he started West, spent some time prospecting in
Kansas and other sections, and in 1878 located in Trinidad, Colorado,
where he took a position in the store of the Colorado Trading Com-
pany. In 1882 he moved on to New Mexico and was employed by a
mercantile house having branches in Santa Fe and Albuquerque. Two
years later he wnt to Holbrook and forming a partnership with J. Q.
Adamson and Milton Chenowith, they opened a general mercantile
store under the name of Adamson and Burbage, and for five years did
a large and profitable business. Then they sold out and proceeded to
Los Angeles, where they embarked in the wholesale meat business.
Before leaving Ohio Mr. Burbage had devoted two years to the study
of law in Hiram College, but until he reached Los Angeles had very
little opportunity to proceed further with his work in that direction.
While in the meat business there, however, he spent his leisure hours
in study, and in April, 1893, was admitted to practice in the Supreme
Court of California. The same year he returned to Arizona, and
opened an office in Winslow. The following year he was elected
District Attorney of Apache County and re-elected in 1898 and 1900.
He was also appointed local attorney for the Santa Fe R. R. at Wins-
low. In 1895 he had formed a partnership with Mr. F. W. Nelson,
and in 1900, with Mr. Nelson, organized the Navajo County Bank, of
which he was chosen president, and has since continued at the head of
that institution. In 1905 Mr. Burbage and Mr. F. W. Nelson
organized the Apache County Bank, of St. Johns, Arizona, and
became president and vice president and cashier, respectively.
In the fall of 1909 the Navajo County Bank of Winslow, and
242
\V HO S \V H O
the Apache County Bank of St. Johns, merged under the present
name of the Navajo-Apache Bank & Trust Co., with $100,000 paid
in capital, of which institution, with bank at Winslow and branches
at St. Johns and Holbrook, Mr. Burbage became and is president.
Mr. Burbage is the owner of a large amount of real estate in that
vicinity, and a man whose ventures in various fields of activity have
been attended by success. In 1896 he was delegate to the National
Democratic Convention at St. Louis, and from 1896 to 1900 repre-
sented Arizona on the National Democratic Committee. He is a
member of the Knights of Columbus, and is also a member of the
Elks, of which he has been Exalted Ruler in the local lodge.
FRED W. NELSON, County Attorney of Apache County and Vice
President of the Navajo-Apache Bank & Trust Co., in charge of the
St. Johns Branch, was born in Manchester, N. H., winter of 1857,
but reared and educated in New T York and Chicago, to which latter
place he removed in
1870, and resided until
1883, when he came to
New Mexico. In the
early part of 1884 he
came to Arizona and
took up his residence
near Springerville. In
1891, having been ap-
pointed under sheriff ot
Apache County, he made
his home in St. Johns,
the county seat. In 1892
he was elected County
Recorder and creditably
discharged the duties of
that office as well as be-
ing in charge of the
sheriff's office. In 1895,
when his term of office
had expired, he moved to
Winslow, and took an
active interest in the
creating of Navajo
County. His influence
aided in securing the
passage of the bill dividing Apache County and making Navajo, and
his efforts in this respect were rewarded by appointment as first
County Recorder and Clerk of Board of Supervisors of the new coun-
ty, which positions he filled during 1895 and 1896. In the mean-
time he had been devoting much time to the study of law and in 1895
IX ARIZONA
243
was admitted to practice in the District Court at Holbrook. The
same year he entered into partnership with W. H. Burbage. In
1900 Mr. Nelson and Mr. Burbage organized The Navajo County
Bank at Winslow, with a capital of $10,000, and Mr. Nelson became
vice president. In addition to having built up a profitable practice,
'Mr. Nelson took active part in incorporating the town of Winslow
and served as town attorney from 1900 to 1905, when he removed
to St. Johns, to take charge of The Apache County Bank & Trust
Co., which he and Mr. Burbage organized in the fall of 1905, and
became vice president and cashier of the new bank. In 1908 he was
elected district attorney of Apache County and re-elected as the

first attorney of that county. In 1909 Mr. Nelson and Mr. Bur-
bage consolidated the Navajo County Bank of Winslow and The
Apache County Bank & Trust Co., of St. Johns, under the name of
Navajo-Apache Bank & Trust Co., with paid-up capital of $100,000,
with head bank at Winslow and branches at St. Johns and Holbrook,
and he became vice president of the institution in charge at St. Johns.
He is one of the reliable and substantial business men of the section
and has accumulated property in Navajo and Apache counties. He
organized the Elks lodge at Winslow in 1900, and was its secretary
the first four years, afterward being elected Exalted Ruler. His in-
terest in good roads has made him one of the leaders in this work, and
it was due partly to his efforts that plans have been made to bond
244 WHO'S WHO
Apache county for road building. Fred Nelson is known as a prime
mover in the interest of improved conditions in the town, city or
county, and an earnest worker for all development plans.
R. C. KAUFMAN, cashier of the Navajo-Apache Bank & Trust
Company, was born in Leroy, Illinois, in 1880. He was graduated
from the high school of Leroy, and then took the general course in
the University of Illinois. He was first employed at telegraphy and
railroad work, and has been associated with the Navajo-Apache Bank
& Trust Company since 1907. His first position was as bookkeeper,
from which he was promoted to that of assistant cashier. Upon the
reorganization of the bank in 1909 Mr. Kaufman was chosen its secre-
tary, and one year later was made cashier, a position requiring a
thorough knowledge of financial matters and banking regulations, as
the Navajo-Apache Bank is one of the largest in the state and the
Largest in Northern Arizona. Mr. Kaufman married Miss Mary
Lynn Duggar. They have one little daughter, Jacqueline, and make
their home in Winslow.
LLOYD C. HENNING, manager of the Navajo-Apache Bank & Trust
Company's branch at Holbrook, has been in Arizona more than a quar-
ter of a century, his parents, who are now residents of Pinto, having
been among the pioneers of that section. Mr. Henning became first
prominently known in Arizona for the part he took in building up a
number of the strong weekly papers in Navajo and Apache Counties
and in his present position has hosts of friends throughout the northern
part of the state. He is an energetic and tireless booster, takes great
pride in the growth of Holbrook, and during his term as Secretary-
Treasurer of the Holbrook Commercial Club, the growth of the town
received considerable impetus. A little more than a year ago he was
married in Ohio to Miss Esther Hess, a native of that state, and in
Holbrook, where they have since made their home, they are very well
known socially. Fraternally also Mr. Henning is prominent in North-
ern Arizona, being an active member of the Masons and Elks.
J. E. Cox, cashier of the Merchants and Stock Growers Bank of
Holbrook, has a reputation for banking which preceded him to Ari-
zona, and was, in fact, the incentive which caused the directors of the
above bank to offer him the position of cashier. The record made by
Mr. Cox while associated with the First National Bank of Albuquer-
que, N. M., was known outside that state, and when the prominent
business men of Holbrook planned the forming of a company to start
a bank there, the only man considered for cashier, when it should be
completed, was J. E. Cox. The record which the Merchants and
Stock Growers Bank has made under Mr. Cox's direction has fully
equalled the expectations of those concerned and proven that the con-
IN A R I 7 O N A

J. K. Cax
fidence they displayed in his ability was well deserved. Mr. Cox is a
man interested in matters of public importance, in politics a Republi-
can of some influence, but not an office seeker. He is a prominent
member of the Elks and Masons. He was born in Kellogg, Iow T a, edu-
cated there and at Moline, Illinois, and received his first knowledge
of banking in The Moline National Bank, at Moline, 111. He is the
son of C. C. and Margaret A. Cox, and in 1905 was married to Miss
Minnie Peterson. They have three children, Margaret, Louise and
Anne. Mrs. Cox is intimately associated with church and charitable
work in and about Holbrook.
THE SOUTHERN ARIZONA BANK & TRUST COMPANY, one of
Tucson's solid financial institutions doing business according to the
most modern methods, has a paid in capital of $75,000 and resources
amounting to more than one million dollars, while its aggregate de-
posits are close to the million mark. This company was organized in
May, 1903, and its original capitalization was but $50,000. Its sur-
plus and undivided profits now amount to more than $50,000. This
institution is one of the largest in this section of the country from
the point of view of deposits and resources, and its policy of carrying
50% of deposits in quick cash assets ard cash reserves makes it second
to none in the state in the matter of strength, and causes the institu-
246 WHO'S WHO
tion to stand exceedingly high in the confidence of the public. A gen-
eral banking business is conducted, both check and savings accounts
being received and on the latter four per cent interest per annum is
allowed. They also issue letters of credit and travelers' checks, pay-
able practically everywhere in the world.
The trust department of the Southern Arizona Bank & Trust Com-
pany is one of the most complete known in Arizona, and they are
competent to act as trustee or administrator, and to take charge of
estates. They also conduct a real estate and insurance department
under thoroughly qualified men, and they loan money on city prop-
erty. This bank also extends accommodations to its clients in Tucson
and vicinity whenever consistent with sound banking principles, as the
entire business of the institution is conducted along the lines of wise
and conservative, though liberal, methods.
The officers of the Southern Arizona Bank & Trust Company are
as follows: N. E. Plumer, president; Fred J. Steward, vice president;
G. H. Sawyer, secretary. These three officers together with J. Ivan-
covich and R. Power, compose the board of directors.
N. E. PLUMER, president of the Southern Arizona Bank & Trust
Company, is the son of Nathaniel B. and Martha Sanborn Plumer,
and was born in Detroit. Mich., February 28, 1866. Mr. Plumer's
parents were both natives of New England, and when he was a small
child, they returned to their Boston home, and there he was reared and
educated in the public schools, and there he made his home until he
engaged in business for himself. Mr. Plumer's first employment was
with the George H. Hammond Packing Co., whose representative he
was for several years, when he engaged in the packing business on his
own account. He was subsequently Eastern representative of the
Cudahy Packing Company, and as such he practically built up their
eastern business, established branch houses, and bought or built the
company's real estate throughout the east. Coming to Arizona sixteen
years ago, Mr. Plumer first engaged in real estate and insurance busi-
ness for three years, as member of the firm of Plumer & Steward, of
Tucson. He then organized The Southern Arizona Bank & Trust
Company, was elected president of the corporation, and has since held
this position. During the comparatively short time this bank has
been in existence it has advanced from the smallest bank in the city to
second place, and now ranks among the strongest in the state, which is
to be attributed mainly to Mr. Plumer's guidance of its affairs. Mr.
Plumer is a descendant of early time New England families, and a
distant relative of Daniel Webster. Mrs. Plumer, also a native of
New England, was formerly Miss Mabel Roberts. Though so prom-
inently known in the business world, Mr. Plumer has never had any
inclination for political or fraternal associations. He is a member of
The Old Pueblo Club. Both Mrs. Plumer and he are members of
the Corgregationalist Church. They have one daughter, five years old.

the Southern Arizona Bank & Trust Company. Mr. Gillen is a
well known member of the Knights of Columbus, the Old Pueblo
Club, Tucson, and the Mohawk Club, Chicago.
GORDON HAYWARD SAWYER, secretary of the Southern Arizona
Bank Si Trust Company, has been permanently associated with this
institution since September, 1910, when he became assistant secretary.
Mr. Sawyer had previously spent seven months in Tucson, during
part of which he was temporarily employed by the above bank. He
was born in Chicago November 2, 1871, but was reared and educated
in Joliet. Having graduated from the high school, he was employed
as collector for the First National Bank of that city, remained with
them six years, meantime advancing to the position of teller. He then
accepted a position as assistant cashier of the Joliet National Bank,
with which he remained until his removal to Tucson. Since Mr. Saw-
yer's connection with the Southern Arizona Bank & Trust Company,
its resources have increased to more than $1,000,000, and its deposits
have more than doubled, and the bank stands among the foremost of
the state. Mr. Sawyer was made a Master Mason, March, 1901, a
Royal Arch Mason, May, 1901, a Knight Templar and Knight of
Malta, October, 1901, and a member of Medinah Temple, November

to Miss Sara Fleming, of McGregor, Iowa, now deceased. He has
three children, Gordon H., Jr., Isabel and Kent.
The First National Bank of Clifton
THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF CLIFTON was organized in 1901.
Its capital is $30,000, which is fully paid, and while this bank does not
rank among the large institutions of Arizona, it does rank foremost
among the soundest. Its management is able and experienced, and its
directorate and stockholders are found among some of the leading
business and professional men of that section. E. M. Williams, presi-
dent, is also one of the founders and a charter director. As general
manager of the Arizona Copper Company store, he is known through-
out the state as a responsible business man. Henry Hill, vice presi-
dent, is a well known business man of Clifton. W. J. Riley, cashier,
is also director of the State Bank of Morenci and the Bank of Dun-
can, and since he has grown to manhood, has been almost continuously
employed in banking, while J. J. Kelly, assistant cashier, is a native of
the state, and has grown up in the banking business, and although a
young man has attained to prominence in banbirg circles.
The board of directors consists of the foregoing officials, together
w T ith John R. Hampton, vice president of the Valley Bank, Phoenix,
George Frazer, John Webster, J. T. McClay, C. O. Billingsley, and
Sam Abraham, proprietor of the Clifton Hotel.

of the Arizona Copper Company store at Clifton, and in 1897 he was
made manager of the Morenci branch of this store, and later general
manager of the department stores of the company, in charge of all
three of their houses. In each capacity in which he has served affairs
under his jurisdiction have shown the results of ability and thorough-
ness. Air. Williams is a stockholder in the Arizona Copper Company
and one of the most substantial and well known men of affairs in that
section of Arizona. Fraternally he is a member of the Masons and
Elks, and politically is a Democrat, but with no aspirations to office,
although at the instance of his friends, he served one term in the
Territorial Legislature. Mr. Williams was married November 14,
1900, to Miss Margaret Lee Harris, daughter of Judge George
Harris, of San Saba, Texas.
WILLIAM J. RILEY, cashier of The First National Bank of Clifton,
is well known throughout Arizona financial circles, as he is also a di-
rector of the State Bank of Morenci and of the Bank of Duncan. He
is the son of Francis S. and Frances Webb Riley, of San Diego, and in
the latter city he was born and
educated. Having completed a
commercial course, his first po-
sition was as bookkeeper in a
bank in San Diego. On coming
to Arizona, Mr. Riley located
in Yurra, where he was em-
ployed in a bank, and soon be-
came as well known in the po-
litical as in the business life.
During his residence there he
served a term as Deputy Coun-
ty Recorder of the County. In
1904 he went to Clifton to ac-

J. J. KELLY, assistant cashier of the First National Bank of Clifton,
although one of the youngest, is one of the best known bankers in the
state, and no doubt enjoys as wide an acquaintance among the finan-
ciers of the Southwest as any banker in Arizona. He began his busi-
ness life in a bank and has grad-
ually advanced from minor posi-
tions to the one he now holds.
His training has, therefore, been
thorough, and he has mastered
;ill the details of the business.
Mr. Kelly is the son of pioneer
Arizonans, Michael and Julia
Sullivan Kelly, and was born in
the historic town of Tomb-
stone on January 26, 1887,
when this was the metropolis
of the Territory, and his father
v^ as one of the important figures
of that day. Mr. Kelly is one
of the best known politicians of
Greenlee, and has served a term
as United States Commissioner.
He was recently appointed re-
ceiver of a large establishment
in Clifton, and the manner in
which he disposed of the prop-
erty and the amount made
available to the creditors, as a
result, elicited much commenda-
tion. Mr. Kelly is also well
known in the social and fraternal life of the state and is one of the
youngest men who ever held the position of Exalted Ruler of the Elks.
His administration in that capacity was, like his other undertakings, a
complete success. During that time the order was placed on a sound
financial basis, and the membership increased in a most gratifying de-
gree. Mr. Kelly was united in marriage to Miss Grace Grey, also a
native of Arizona, who is a favorite in the community. They have a
bright and interesting little son, who has been named for his father.

The Gila Valley Bank & Trust Company
THE GILA VALLEY BANK & TRUST COMPANY, which, in addition
to its principal house at Globe, has branches at Ray, Winkleman, Mo-
renci, Clifton, Hayden, Safford and Miami, has proven a most im-
portant factor in the business growth of that section of Arizona, and
done much in aiding to success hundreds of people engaged in mining,
agriculture, and cattle raising in the vicinity of its houses. The ad-
vantages possible in this particular have been considerably increased by
the fact that eight banks in different towns, but all under one strong
and capable management cover a greater area with much more expedi-
ence than would be possible by the same number of individual banking
companies, even though the aggregate of their resources were greater
than those of the Gila Valley Bank Si Trust Company. Under this
arrangement the people of the smallest of these towns have the benefit
of dealing with a large institution, in reality, for they appreciate the
fact that each branch is as strong and as high in its financial responsi-
bility as the entire system behind it. They realize also that should any
of the ordinary financial difficulties be met with in their immediate
locality, the local bank need not necessarily be put to any exceptional
test as would otherwise doubtless be the case, to meet the demands of
depositors needlessly alarmed, but having the strength of the entire
Gila Valley Bank & Trust Company to rely upon, the situation would
never assume serious proportions.
The Gila Bank & Trust Company was organized in 1900 with a
capitalization of $100,000, all of which is paid in. They have a sur-
plus of $60,000, and deposits amounting to almost $2,000,000. In all
their branches they transact a general banking business, loan money,
buy and sell exchange, make collections and receive deposits, both for
commercial and savings accounts, and utilize every modern system
which in any way tends to benefit financial transactions.
The Gila Valley Bank & Trust Company has in its employ in each
of its houses men who are well trained in banking, and familiar with
every detail of the requirements of their position. This is notably true
of the manage,r?, many of whom have received their bank training in
the very best possible way, in large eastern houses, either national
banks or private banking firms, where emergencies must be met and
questions coped with that broaden a man's horizon in this calling and
develop in him the power to quickly respond to the unusual demands
of the day and to rise to the occasion and satisfactorily dispose of
matters of a special nature requiring his attention.
The officers of the company are as follows: President C. E. Mills;
Vice Presidents, L. D. Ricketts and T. A. Pascoe; Cashier, Harry S.
Van Gorder ; General Manager, R. E. Moore, all of whom are
prominently known in the business enterprises of the state.

HARRY S. VAN GORDER, cashier of the Gila Valley Bank and
Trust Company and general manager of the department store of the
Detroit Copper Mining Company of Arizona, at Morenci, was born
in Philadelphia in 1858, but at an early age removed to Warren, O.,
where his boyhood was spent. He was educated at the Allegheny
College, Meadville, Penn., and the Pennsylvania Military College,
Harry S. Van Gorder
Chester, Penn., and graduated from the latter in 1879. Having held
several positions about his early home, he went to Golden, Colo., in
1886, and there engaged in business about three years. He next
opened a store in Orient, Colo., where he remained until 1891, when
he came to Arizona to accept his present position. The present home
of the store was built since Mr. Van Gorder's coming, and every de-
tail of the same was planned by him, and it was he who directed the
work of the architect and builder, and the result is a store that has

257

R. E. Moore
R. E. MOORE, general manager of the entire system of the Gila Val-
ley Bank Si Trust Company, is a banker trained in the school whose
graduates become a success. He was born on a farm in Kansas in
1872, and was educated in the common schools of the country where
Eureka, Kansas, now stands. At an early age he showed the indis-
pensable characteristic of the successful beginner, frugality, and with
the assistance of his parents was able to take a course in the Southern
Kansas Academy at Eureka, where he spent three years. He then
went to Kansas City, where he was graduated from a business college
with such a record that he was immediately given a position with a
prominent financial institution as private secretary to the president,
and utilizing his spare time at bookkeeping, got an insight into the
258 WHO'S WHO
general workings of a large firm. Later he went to El Paso, where
he accepted a position with the First National Bank, and acquired
valuable experience as well as a knowledge of Arizona. He soon
realized the possibilities in this great territory, but feeling that he re-
quired a little more experience, accepted a position as chief clerk with
the American Smelting & Refining Company at Monterey, Mexico.
Here he spent three years, and established a record for a knowledge of
banking, mining, and other industries, a reputation which traveled to
Morenci, where men of his calibre were constantly being sought. He
was taken there, assayed highly, and when a responsible position was
available in Globe, was placed in it. He was manager of the Globe
Bank of this company for several years and has recently been made
general manager. Mr. Moore is not only a leader in banking affairs,
but has a good knowledge of all phases of mining and is of great as-
sistance in the different transactions to which his clients are a party.
His duties require his making regular trips to all the branches of the
Gila Valley Bank & Trust Company, keeping in close touch with the
condition of all of them, and giving the men in charge the benefit of
his knowledge and experience. He was married in 1904 to Miss
Louise Wilcox, daughter of Judge Wilcox, prominently known in
El Paso and vicinity. Two boys have been born to them, Eastmer
and Albert. Mrs. Moore is well known in social life and one of
Globe's most charming women.

First National Bank of Douglas
THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF DOUGLAS is incorporated under
the laws of Arizona and is a United States depository. It was or-
ganized with a capitalization of $100,000, and its management com-
prises some of the most reliable and prominent citizens of the state.
Honorable B. A. Packard, a pioneer Arizona business man whose repu-
tation throughout the state for business ability, integrity and efficiency
is absolutely unexcelled, is the president. Being a man whose person-
ality has attracted to him positions of honor and trust, both appointive
and elective, Mr. Packard's name in the list of organizers and at the
head of this institution has been one of its valuable assets from the
beginning. E. W. Graves, cashier, is a thoroughly trained and com-
petent bank official. . He has been known in the financial life of Ari-
zona for many years and spent almost two decades in the employ of
the Consolidated National Bank of Tucson, and to his business ca-
pacity and uniform courtesy much of the bank's continuous growth
may be attributed. Its deposits now amount to more than $850,000,
and its total resources are more than a million. Its affairs are judi-
ciously managed on a broad, but conservative, basis, and its facilities,
both financial and physical, for accommodating the public wants are
ample. The First National Bank is located on the most prominent
corner in Douglas, Tenth and "G" Avenues, in a modern, complete
three story building which is an addition to the business section of the
city. The equipment is modern and includes a large safety deposit
vault. The Board of Directors includes the officials previously named
and T. E. Pollock, president of the Arizona Central Bank of Flag-
staff ; L. W. Powell, well known mining man of Cochise County;
James Wood, George Dawe and A. B. Packard, all of Douglas.

BURDETT ADEN PACKARD, miner and cattleman, is one of the most
prominent and interesting men of Arizona, with whose history he has
been actively associated since 1880. Mr. Packard was born in Port-
ville, New York, November 1, 1847, and was educated principally
under private tutors, but later attended Alfred Academy, New \ ork.
His parents, Ashley G. and Virtue V. Crandall Packard, were of
English descent. Mr. Packard's business life began at the age of six-
teen, when he went into the lumber business with his father; at eigh-
teen he became associated with the mercantile business, and after six
years of service in this capacity, located in Bradford, Penn., where he
operated in oil. His next move was to Arizona, where he took up
mining and cattle business, and located at Tombstone, and during his
residence there owned, developed and sold several large mines at re-
munerative figures. Since 1884 his interests have been largely in the
cattle business, and he was formerly associated with William C.
Greene in the ownership of the Turkey Track Cattle Company, oper-
ating in Sonora, Mexico, and Arizona, whose holdings comprise about
700,000 acres of land and 40,000 head of cattle. Politically, Mr.
Packard has been actively interested in the affairs of the Democratic
party, but the demands of business have prevented his devoting but
little time to official life. He has, however, represented the County of
Cochise in the Council during the 18th and 19th sessions of the Legis-
lature. In the former he gained much distinction as author of the re-
districting bills and other measures that have proven of great benefit
to the state. In the latter he was member of the Committees on Mines

young man he came to Arizona, and for twenty years was employed
in the Consolidated National Bank, Tucson, where he served suc-
cessively as messenger, general clerk and assistant cashier, and removed
to Douglas to become cashier of the First National Bank, and much
of the success of this bank may be attributed to his indefatigable zeal,
careful business methods, and uniform courtesy to its patrons. He is

Arizona National Bank
THE ARIZONA NATIONAL BANK, which was original Iv known as
the Santa Cruz Valley Bank, has from the beginning of its
career, several decades ago, enjoyed the confidence of the people of
Tucson and vicinity. The story of this bank is well known in the
community, and its constant and rapid growth, and the steady in-
crease in its patronage and the volume of its business are indisputable
tokens of its safety and prosperity. Its officers are, above all, conser-
vative, and its patrons receive at their hands the most courteous treat-
ment, while accommodations consistent with good business are accord-
ed all clients. The Arizona National Bank is eminently noted for its
solidity and conservatism and is known as the Arizona "Bank of Eng-
land"." It was founded in 1889 by L. M. and B. M. Jacobs and M.
P. Freeman, and then known as The Santa Cruz Valley Bank. After
some years it was reorganized, became a national bank, and assumed
its present name. None of the organizers of The Santa Cruz Valley
Bank are now connected with the management, as Mr. Freeman with-
drew many years ago and the Messrs. Jacobs recently disposed of their
control to the present management. At a meeting held in January,
1913, it was decided to increase the capital stock of the bank to $100,-
000. Its last statement shows the resources to be nearly $700,000,

Charles F. Solomon

and its aggregate deposits $500,000. The gain in the volume of
business since its reorganization in January last has amounted to more
than fifty per cent. The Arizona National Bank conducts a general
banking business in all its branches, and none in this section is better
prepared for making collections, issuing exchange, or expediting any of
the details of actual banking, but being a national bank, it does not deal
in real estate or accept real estate as collateral. At the last annual meet-
ing Charles F. Solomon, well known in the banking and commercial
life of Graham County, and one of the most conservative business
men in Arizona, was elected President, and Ph. Freudenthal of Solo-
monville,* Arizona, banker, and Mose Drachman, one of Tucson's
leading real estate dealers, Vice Presidents. The other officials are F.
H. Thorpe, cashier; J. H. McClear and Anthony Coenen, assistant
cashiers. The new directorate, besides including the president, vice
presidents and cashier, represents many of the large and important
interests in this and other states, the remaining members of the board
being: D. W. Wickersham, president of the Bank of Safford and of
several other corporations; I. E. Solomon, a pioneer resident of Ari-
zona, president of the Solomon Commercial Company and vice presi-
dent of The Bank of Safford ; E. W. Clayton, cashier of the latter
bank; Dr. H. W. Fenner, a prominent physician and surgeon and
well known financier; Geo. Pusch, pioneer and large cattleman; Fred
Fleishman, pioneer and druggist; Fred Ronstadt, manufacturer
and merchant ; Judge J. H. Campbell, ex-Supreme Justice of
Arizona; B. M. Jacobs, pioneer and banker. These are all men fa-
miliar with the requirements of a strong, healthy bank, and thorough-
ly cognizant of the value of a constant sane and liberal policy, and a
continuation of the careful and efficient management heretofore ac-
corded its patrons is assured them.
CHARLES F. SOLOMON, President of the Arizona National Bank,
one of the oldest and most reliable banks within the State, is also
Secretary and Treasurer of the Solomon Commercial Company,
Solomonville, and Secretary and Treasurer of the Solomon-Wicker-
sham Co., Safford. Mr. Solomon was born in Towanda, Pa., March
7, 1873, but has been practically reared in Arizona, the family having
removed here when he was a small boy. His father, Isidor Elkan
Solomon, was one of the pioneer merchants in the early days of
Solomonville, before the advent of the railroad in that section, is
one of the substantial citizens of the county, and aided materially in
the upbuilding of that portion of the State. Charles F. Solomon
has been prominent in the commercial and banking life of the State
for many years, and was one of the organizers of the Solomon Com-
mercial Company, and the Gila Valley Bank & Trust Co. His

garded as a man of the most substantial characteristics and the highest
integrity, and the notable increase in the volume of the bank's business
since its reorganization may be attributed largely to his personality
and influence. In the fraternal life of the State he is well known,
being a Mason of the 32nd degree, a member of the Knights of
Pythias and of the B. P. O. E. He was married in 1895 to Miss

Willcox Bank and Trust Co.
THE WILLCOX BANK & TRUST COMPANY has for several years
filled the long felt need of a chartered bank for the vicinity of Will-
cox, and was organized by men well known and highly esteemed a?
financiers in that section. It opened its doors for business January
18, 1909, and having men of high standing and breadth of business
experience at its head, is well organized for the work entrusted to
it, and it is a matter of pride and satisfaction to the community to
have so able a financial institution in its midst. The building itself
makes a most pleasing impression, being up to date in appointment.
Its construction was a matter of careful consideration, the space
being utilized in the most artistic manner consistent with conveni-
ence and safety. The vault is an ingenious piece of workmanship.
The cement, while soft, had imbedded in it scrap iron and steel bars,
which produced a burglar proof wall twenty inches thick, the only
opening in which is protected by massive double steel doors manufac-
tured by a well known safe company of Ohio. The vault contains a
3200 pound safe closed by a time lock, which it is impossible to open
until the time for which it has been set has expired. In fact, every
device known has been used to safeguard the interests of the patrons,
and ample insurance is carried against burglary and daylight robbery.
The capital of the Willcox Bank & Trust Company is $25,000, fully
paid up, with a surplus of half that sum, and its success has been con-
tinuous, its deposits and resources showing a constant increase. It is
conducted by experienced men in bank work, the cashier, Horace E.
Dunlap, having had years of experience in the banks of the state.
H. A. Morgan, president, is a man who has sustained a reputation

New York almost thirty years ago, and has since been associated with
the best interests of the community in many lines. The board of di-
rectors is composed of the above named officials and C. M. Roberts,
Senator from Cochise County and well known mining and business
man; William M. Riggs, member of the Cochise County Board of
Supervisors, and A. Y. Smith, mining man, who formerly owned
the controlling interest in the Commonwealth Mine at Pearce.
HENRY A. MORGAN, President of the Willcox Bank & Trust Com-
pany, and President and General Manager of the Norton-Morgan
Commercial Company, has spent the greater part of his life in the far
West. In fact, he is a typical Southwesterner, was born in Colum-
bia, Tuolumne County, California, in 1861. His parents, George
and Margaret Morgan, were natives respectively of England and
Ireland, and were among the very early settlers and appreciators of
California. Their son received all the advantages within their power
to confer in Columbia, and at eighteen years of age was sent to a
business college in San Francisco. His first practical business experi-
ence was gained in 1880, when he secured a position as bookkeeper for
the firm of Norton & Stewart, at Fort Grant, Arizona, and in this
capacity he served until 1890. Shortly before that time the retire-
ment of Mr. Stewart disclosed an opportunity for Mr. Morgan to
secure an advanced position, and he was made General Manager of all
the stores of the company. For some time previously he had resided
at Willcox, and continued to do so under the weight of the added
responsibility. During the years intervening since 1890, there have
been stores started in the vicinity. Among these are stores at Cochise.
Bonita and Klondyke, Arizona. In 1903 the Norton-Morgan Com-
mercial Company took over the business of John H. Norton Si Co.,
and from that time it has covered a broader field and increased the
scope of the undertaking in every way. This firm has now estab-
lished a name for itself and is counted among the leading mercantile
houses of Southern Arizona. Mr. Morgan was the leading spirit in
the organization of the Willcox Bank & Trust Company, and like all
other enterprises in which he is a factor it has met with exceptional
success in its short career. The bank opened in 1909 with H. A.
Morgan as President. Mr. Morgan was a member of the Willcox
School Board for twelve years, and served as Clerk of the Board
which erected the Grammar and the High Schools, at a cost of about
$10,000 cash, complete, including furniture. He is a staunch mem-
ber of the Republican party, and in 1881 attended the first Republican
convention held in Graham Copunty. He is a prominent member of

the Masonic Order, and was Grand Master of the Masons in Arizona
in 1911. He also served as Grand Patron of the Eastern Star in
1908, and is now an officer of El Zaribah Temple, Mystic Shrine. In
addition to his extensive mercantile and mining activities, he has large
interests in real estate in Willcox as well as Tucson and Los Angeles.
Mr. Morgan was a promoter and first President of the Southern Ari-
zona Agricultural Fair Association, in which he has taken a very
active part. He is also a member and leading spirit in the Willcox
Board of Trade, and a member of the Executive Committee from
Arizona of the International Dry Farm Congress, whose next session
will be held at Tulsa, Okla., next fall. In 1886 Mr. Morgan married
Miss Anna Belle Dixon, daughter of J. E. Dixon, of Tucson, Ari-
zona. Mr. and Mrs. Morgan have four children, viz.: George P.,
Ethel R., Florence and Helen.
HORACE E. DUNLAP, cashier of the Willcox Bank & Trust Com-
pany, was born in Trumbull County, Ohio, in 1855. He w r as edu-
cated for a college professor, being graduated from Thiel College,
Greenville, Pa., in 1877. He served as Latin tutor two years in the
same institution, taking at the same time special studies preparatory
to a post graduate course in an eastern university, but a general
breakdown in health sent him to Arizona in 1882 to recuperate.
Seven years of easy "Roughing It" on the cattle ranch of his brother,
Burt Dunlap, in Graham County, restored his health in a measure,
and, anticipating the coming business opportunities to be found in
Arizona, he returned east and served an apprenticeship in Wick Bros.
& Company's bank, in Youngstown, Ohio. The lure of the Arizona
climate drew him back to a period in cattle ranching. From 1892 to
1900 he resided in Willcox, serving four years as accountant in the
large stores, which did as much banking as the average country bank,
and an equal period as publisher of the "Arizona Range News," a
local livestock paper. From 1900 to 1903 he was in the employ of
The Bank of Safford, going thence to Yuma to become cashier of the
bank of J. W. Thornton & Son, which, during his incumbency in
that office, was nationalized, becoming the First National Bank of
Yuma. In 1905 he returned to Graham County to become cashier
of the Bank of Safford, with which institution he remained three
years, when the organizers of the new bank in Willcox, the Willcox
Bank & Trust Company, sought and secured him for the position of
cashier. Having previously held a responsible position with the
Norton-Morgan Commercial Company of Willcox and, during his
former residence there, gained a wide acquaintance with the stock-
men and mining men of the entire district, he was, with his long ex-
perience in bank work, the logical man for the place, and the rapid
growth of the institution under his management has amply justified
280
WHO S WHO
the choice. Mr. Dunlap, in addition to being a stockholder and di-
rector of the bank, is interested in various enterprises throughout the
state and owner of real estate in California and in the Salt River
Valley. In 1893, during his previous residence in Willcox, he mar-
ried Mrs. May A. Smith, who, like himself, has been active in
Horace E. Dunlap
church w y ork and in the various lines of endeavor for the uplift of
society. Gladys, their only daughter, has just been graduated from
the Polytechnic High School, Los Angeles, and they have one son,
Howard, aged 11. Mr. Dunlap is a member of the Willcox lodge of
Masons, and was a Republican all his life until the last campaign,
when he affiliated with the Progressives. He has never sought
political office.

C. M. ROBERTS, Senator from Cochise County, and one of Co-
chise's representaives in the Constitutional Convention, is a progressive
Democrat who received his education largely in the school of experi-
ence. His first political fight was at the primary election for the
Constitutional Convention, and although it was known that he had
been a considerable power in the State, there was some doubt in the
minds of the unknowing regarding the result of the election, but w r hen
a count was made it was found that more votes had been cast for Mr.
Roberts than for his opponents combined, and his friends understood.
Being a former miner as well as ranch and cattle man, he had scores
of friends who worked for him quietly at all times, and a remarkable
fact was that every man in his employ, or who had ever been in his
employ, was looking after his interests, and the result of their com-
bined efforts showed the esteem in which he is held. Mr. Roberts w r as
born in Erath County, Texas, and is the son of a farmer. He drifted
to the frontier and was engaged in different pursuits through the West,
mainly mining and cattle raising, before locating in Arizona. He
located the Cleopatra mine in Colorado, and sold it at a great profit,
bought and sold other valuable mines, and has known what it is to be
broke, since he made his first stake. After varied success in other
States he came here and bought what is now the property of the
Mascot Mining Company, which he sold, and then drifted into the
cattle, mining and banking business. At present he and several other
ranchmen own the Willcox Bank, in which are employed only the
most capable, and this bank has been a success since its organization,
as well as a benefit to the town of Willcox. In his various enter-
prises Mr. Roberts has employed a great number of men, and there
is no man ever worked for him but will say a kindly word of the
Senator from Cochise. Mr. Roberts is a fighter, it necessary for
the sake of principle, as his colleagues in the Senate realize. Phys-
ically and mentally he is a man of the style best typified by Abraham
Lincoln, being, like him, tall and rather spare, deliberate in the ex-
treme, yet having a keenly penetrating mind that grasps the salient
points in an argument and immediately analyzes them most minutely
a mind that is, in fact, a camera of the snapshot order, in which
impressions are so vividly portrayed as to enable him to make the best
of any possible situation and elicit from an adversary in debate the
telling points of the subject under discussion, but with nothing what-
ever of craft in his methods, for Senator Roberts is above all straight-
fonvard and direct. His ranch home at Dos Cabezas, near Willcox,
is one of the finest in the State, and he is very proud of the woman
who reigns there. Mrs. Roberts was Miss Madge Whitaker, and
they were married in 1897. His only daughter, Helen, is a student
at the University of Arizona, Tucson, and is a girl of exceptional
ability. Though in her early teens she has written poems that show
unmistakable evidence of gift in this direction. He also has one
son, less than two vears old. Senator Roberts is Chairman of the

William Riggs
W. M. RIGGS, Supervisor of Cochise County, and director of the
Willcox Bank & Trust Company, is one of Arizona's many large
cattle men, being president and also a heavy stockholders of the
Riggs Cattle Company, one of the largest outfits in the state. Mr.
Riggs was born in Milam County, Texas. Having had but limited
opportunity in early life to acquire an education, atter the age of
thirty, he took a three years' course in the Valparaiso, Indiana, Nor-
mal School, covering the expenses of his course by money earned
mostly as a cowboy. His father, Bronneck Riggs, was a native of
Alabama, his mother, Mary Burleson Riggs, a native of Tennessee.
His father and four of his brothers were Confederate veterans. In
addition to his other business, Mr. Riggs also represents various rail-
road companies in the matter of land scrip, and probably has handled

scrip representing more acres than any other man in Arizona. He
came to Tombstone, driving five teams of oxen, in 1879. Cochise
County has been his place of residence since, excepting during the
time spent at college. Mr. Riggs soon became interested in affairs,
political and general, and has been a Democratic worker for many
years. He is now serving his second term as Supervisor, having been
a member of the Board, 1903-1907. Other than this, he has held no
political office. He is now trustee of El Dorado School District.
LEWIS W. COGGINS was born in Lamoine, Maine, January 15,
1869, but received his education in the public schools of Greeley, Colo.
In January, 1892, he came to Phoenix and engaged in the abstract
business with Z. O. Brown under the firm name of Coggins & Brown.
The Phoenix Title & Trust Company, with a capitalization of
$100,000, is really an evolution of this firm, which did an abstract of
title business until 1897. Then they consolidated with others, and
were known as the Phoenix Title Guaranty & Abstract Company, of
which Mr. Coggins acted as vice president until 1908, when he be-
came sole owner. On February 1, 1910, the present company was
formed, Mr. Coggins retaining an interest and accepting the dual
position of secretary and manager. It is the largest and best equipped
title company in the state and a fitting monument to Mr. Coggins'
untiring zeal and business ability. During the years that this institu-
tion was being evolved from the original firm of Coggins and Brown,
Mr. Coggins was doing equally great things in an entirely different
line, thereby giving a patriotic sheen to the lustre which his local re-
cord had attained. As a military man he has a record which is hard
to equal. He enlisted in Company B, First Infantry, N. G. A., on
May 19, 1893, and in November of the same year became sergeant;
in October, 1894, he was commissioned first lieutenant; in April,
1896, captain, and in April of the succeeding year retired. In 1898
he was commissioned major and inspector of rifle practice; in 1903,
captain and adjutant First Infantry; in 1905, major and inspector of
rifle practice; in 1908 and 1909, adjutant general with rank of col-
onel, and again on February 16, 1912, he was commissioned by Gov-
ernor Hunt adjutant general with rank of colonel. He is also a
member and one of the four organizers of the Arizona Society Sons
of the American Revolution. His right to membership in this organi-
zation comes from his great-great-grandfather, Sergeant Asa Law-
rence, who was an officer in General Cady's Company, llth Conn.
Regiment, and took part in the relief of Boston and Lexington.
While the cares of business and affairs of the nation were thus mak-
ing demands upon the time and energy of Mr. Coggins, he was also
engaged in political affairs, and held both county and municipal of-
fice. He was elected assessor of Maricopa county, November, 1898,
and at the expiration of the term declined a re-nomination. In 1906
IN A R I Z O X A
285
he was elected Mayor of Phoenix on the Republican ticket, and during
his term gambling, which had run on unchecked from the city's incep-
tion, was entirely abolished. He was re-elected in 1907 and during
this term many reforms were enacted. The city acquired the present
municipal water system, which had been in litigation for several
years; the cement sidewalk boom received its start, and many miles
of walk were built ; the floating indebtedness of the city was provided
for, and for the first time in years the business affairs of the city were
Lewis W. Coggins
put on a cash basis and conducted so that expenditures were propor-
tionate to revenues. If the successful management of three such di-
verse and exacting occupations as noted above do not indicate excep-
tional ability and effort on the part of Mr. Coggins, it is safe to assert
that the City of Phoenix can not boast of one able and energetic
worker for its good. In January, 1896, Mr. Coggins married Miss
Sarah E. Mason, and with their five children, Ruth M., May A.,
Ralph L., Milton D., and Alice, they form an interesting type of
an Arizona family.

The First National Bank of Globe
THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF GLOBE was incorporated as a
national bank in 1901, and has since enjoyed unusual prosperity. This
bank has always been carefully managed and the aim of the manage-
ment has been to handle the various lines of banking in the best
possible manner. They transact a general banking business, discount
commercial paper, loan money on approved collateral, issue letters of
credit and exchange on all foreign countries, and are prepared to
handle either large or small accounts in a manner satisfactory to the
depositor. Four per cent interest is paid on time deposits. They
also make a specialty of financing the staple industries of that section,
cattle and mining. The men in charge have all been identified with
financial institutions in different parts of the State. The officers of the
company are P. P. Greer, President ; W. D. Fisk, Vice President ; J.
N. Robinson, Cashier; J. T. Brown and G. C. Simmons, Assistant
Cashiers. The Directors are W. D. Fisk, J. D. Coplen, P. P. Greer,
J. N. Robinson, L. E. Wightman, Harry Sultan and A. W. Craw-
ford. Its capital stock is $100,000, surplus and undivided profits
about $55,000, and deposits about $800,000. The Bank of Miami,
another of the thriving banks of that section, is largely owned by the
stockholders of The First National Bank of Globe.
P. P. GREER, President of the First National Bank of Globe and
Vice President of the Bank of Miami, was born in Bosque County,
Texas, January 13th, 1872. His parents, Matthew S. and Sophia
E. Lane Greer, were pioneers of that State. His father was a mer-
chant, and Mr. Greer worked in his store for several years, then
branched out for himself and engaged in mercantile business at
Meridian, Texas. He came to Arizona to take a position at Fort
Thomas as forwarding agent and bookkeeper for J. N. Porter, and in
that position showed such aptitude for financial affairs that Mr. Porter
sent him to Hillsboro to get an insight into banking and to develop thi^
faculty, in order that he might become Cashier of the Bank of Safford,
which position he held for three years on his return to Arizona. He
then went to Clifton and served as Cashier of the First National Bank
for five years. He w r as next chosen Vice President of The First
National Bank of Globe, of which Mr. Porter was President, resigned
his position in Clifton to devote his attention to the Globe institution,
and on Mr. Porter's resignation he was elected to succeed him.
Mr. Greer is a member of the State and National Bankers'
Associations, in which he has held numerous offices; is a Democrat,
but takes no active part in politics. He is a member of the Elks'
Lodge, and has held the office of Treasurer and Trustee for several
terms. He is also a member of the I. O. O. F., and has held all the
chairs in this lodge. He was married in Texas, in 1906, to Miss
Sue Maxey, a native of the "Lone Star" State.

THE PHOENIX KINDERGARTEN
By Lucy Terrill Ellis
In the city of Phoenix is a small corner of the earth where Ari-
zonans of the Lilliput type are preparing for school days. It has no
first person singular for we are the youngest and sweetest order of the
true brotherhood and a prophecy of the beauty of community life.
Should you take measurements you would jot down 150 ft. front by
125 ft. deep, but kinders do not work with figures or finance. Should
you ask us who we are we would answer with Peter Pan, "We are
Joy! Joy!! Joy!!!" As young apostles of Civics, we have made an
ugly, unkempt corner lot a delight to our neighbors, a pleasure to
tourists, and a paradise for the babies of Phoenix. The garden is the
gateway to the farm, so we delight in calling ourselves Kindercrofters.
We entered not only the Educational Department of the Arizona
Fair, but with the fearlessness of natural children, dared knock at the
door of Agriculture. "Come in," said the big farmer to the little
farmer, "and feast with us." That sounded like old time hospitality,
when there w T as room for the children. Generosity is native to the
rural life. Our place cards were prizes for our lettuce and radishes,
and we were as happy as Froebel when some dream child whispered
to him, "Call your new system of education Kindergarten." Our
thrill of delight came through the knowledge that we were a part of
the progressive growth of the valley. We were to take the initiative
step in the world's right way to fight the great enemy, tuberculosis,
by putting the young child in God's great out of doors, covering him
with Arizona sunshine, filling him with Arizona ozone. For several
\V HO S W H O
Children at Plaj r , Phoenix Kindergarten
years we were homeless, depending on the churches for our workshop,
then we awoke one morning to find that we had been Madonna
kissed, that in our valley was a Garden Mother. She led us into a
garden, in which there was a home, and it was ours. The house is a
portable, for our city is growing, and the Kindergarten, to be properly
placed, must be in a garden away from the busy mart. We can lift the
sides of our house and let the out of doors come in, or open them and
go out to it. God Almighty first planted a garden. It was the antici-
pated home of his highest creation, man. The daily intercourse of the
child with nature, the out of door life, the filling of the lungs w r ith
pure air, little feet touching Mother Earth, little hands digging, plant-
ing, watering, pulling and watching the unfolding of plant life, is true
education. Aristotle, Comenius, Rousseau, Pestalozzi and Froebel
had caught the great thought of God, but to Froebel falls the honor of
applying it to education. "The education of man is the evolution of
the child." said he. Pestalozzi had said, "Education is a development,
not an acquirement. Educate through the child's natural activities,
work from within out." Watching the child before he was six, Froe-
bel said, "I will prepare him for school life by developing his three-
fold nature through his activities. I will put him in a Kindergarten."
And for more than a century and a half that beautiful German word,
"Kindergarten" has been sweet to the child's world. Arizona
has one wonderful and most valuable asset her children, the cause of
great pride, and deserving of their right inheritance, health, oppor-
tunity and good moral environment, which, if given them will aid In
their development into splendid men and women.

The University of Arizona
THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA is an integral part of the system of
public education established by and for the Territory, and aims as the
head of such system, to fill the same position as that occupied by the
state universities in such states as California and Wisconsin. Its gen-
eral organization is in accordance with the Act of Congress of July 2,
1862, known as the Morrill Act, creating the "Land Grant Colleges".
The details of its organization and government are regulated by the
Act of the Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Arizona, passed in
1885, and embodied with amendments, in the Revised Statutes of
Arizona Territory, 1901, which vests the government of the institu-
tion in a corporation styled the Board of Regents of the University of
Arizona, consisting of the Governor and Superintendent of Public In-
struction, ex-officio, and four other members appointed by the Gover-
nor for a term of four years.
The University is situated about a mile from the business center of
Tucson, a city which lies in a broad, flat valley, at an elevation of
2,400 feet above sea level, and is surrounded by mountains. . The dry,
mild and equable climate of Tucson has made it a famous health resort
unsurpassed in winter. The campus, consisting of 60 acres, is care-
fully laid out in drives, lawns and gardens, and with its large number
of trees of various kinds, has the appearance of a well kept park.
The University offers standard courses in agriculture, including
horticulture and animal husbandry, astronomy, biology, chemistry, his-
tory, economics, English, French, German, Spanish, Latin and Greek,
philosophy and education, physics, mechanic arts, mechanical and elec-
trical engineering, civil engineering, geology, mining engineering and
metallurgy.
The University in all departments is open to properly qualified per-
sons of both sexes. It is maintained by funds appropriated by the
United States and the State of Arizona, and is thus enabled to offer
its privileges to residents and non-residents at a very moderate charge.
The United States appropriates $50,000 a year to the institution.
Fifty-seven sections of valuable timber land in Coconino county have
been set apart by the federal government for the maintenance of the
University, and recent provisions of the enabling act increase its en-
dowment to over $4,000,000. The University also receives special
appropriations for the science departments, and has a series of endow-
ments provided by Professor James Douglas and others for the depart-
ment of mineralogy and other departments. The amount received an-
nually from miscellaneous sources such as matriculation, and tuition
fees, rent of cottages, damage to property, etc., is about $1,500, while
receipts for board, light, etc., amount to about $18,000 annually.
The courses offered in the College of Agriculture and the Mechanic
Arts provide both a liberal training along literary and scientific lines,
IN ARIZONA
295

and technical training along engineering, mechanical and agricultural
lines. Great latitude of election is given in the literary and scientific
courses, but the courses in engineering are more rigid in their require-
ments. The aim is to combine practical with theoretical instruction.
The needs of a young and growing commonwealth are kept in mind
and a steady attempt made to develop the adaptibility and resourceful-
ness so necessary to meet changing conditions.
The School of Mines is designed for the education and training of
young men in the arts and sciences directly involved in the industries
of mining and metallurgy. Especial attention is given to mathematics,
physics chemistry, mineralogy and geology, and their application.
The Bureau of Mines and Assaying, while not directly connected with
the work of instruction, a^ords, with its laboratory and the influx of
new material, a valuable object lesson to the advanced students.
During the year 1913 the University offered for the first time a
short course in agriculture, occupying two weeks in February. The
attendance was most encouraging and warrants the continuance of the
course from year to year. A home economics course is projected for
the coming year, also a short course for miners and prospectors.
Students coming from other institutions of recognized standing may
be admitted to classes above Freshman upon presentation of properly
authenticated certificates of work done and credited upon the records
with so much of such work done as corresponds approximately with
the courses required for the desired degree here. Graduates from
courses in Arizona Normals are given a total credit of 32 units which
shall include the cancelling of the requiremenas in Philosophy, but not
in English 1, 2, nor any entrance requirements, the equivalent of
which shall not have been fulfilled. Since the statutes of Arizona pro-
vide the course of study in the high schools of the state "shall be such
as, when completed, shall prepare its students for admission into the
University", the University admits without examination, save in Eng-
lish composition, graduates of approved high schools of Arizona.
Persons of mature age and with sufficient preparation, who are not
candidates for degrees, may be admitted to regular classes as special
students, provided they show to the satisfaction of the instructors that
they can take the course with profit to themselves and without detri-
ment to the regular classes.
Advanced degrees will be given only for work done in residence, to

tion or one of similar standing. The courses in each case will be laid

is to be taken, and must be approved by a committee composed of all
the heads of departments.
The Agricultural Experiment Station deserves special mention. A

carry on constant investigations and experiments in their lines, trying
out their hypotheses by actual demonstrations first on small parcels of
ground on the University campus and then on the University's farm
lands. Allied with this work, but on a somewhat different basis is the
department of agriculture, which is maintained not for research pur-
poses, but for those of instruction. Owing to the wide variation of
agricultural conditions in Arizona, it has been found of advantage to
distribute the work so that each department is located, so far as possi-
ble, in the region most favorable to the accomplishment of its own
special results, and there are branch stations at Tempe, Ariz., where
the date farm is located; between Phoenix and Buckeye; at Yuma; a
dry farm at Prescott, and another dry farm at Snowflake, Apache
County. In addition, tests of dry farming and of underground water
flows are being made by University authorities in the Sulphur Springs
Valley of Cochise County.
Provision is made so far as possible for furnishing board and rooms
to students of both sexes at the University, the young women under
the direction of a capable and experienced preceptress. The dining
hall, under the management of a paid steward, can accommodate 100,
and while the charge of $18.00 per month for board is very low,
it is the aim of the management to serve substantial and appetizing
meals. All students having rooms in the dormitories are required to
take their meals in the dining hall, while with others it is optional.
The attendance at the University for the regular terms, vibrating
for a number of years about the two hundred mark, has now risen
to above three hundred and twenty-five, if we include those enrolled
for the short course in agriculture 77 in all. The preparatory
classes are gradually being dropped and their place taken by new and
more college students. The spirit of the campus is changing to one
that is more distinctively collegiate.
The peculiar strength of the University has been in its faculty,
brought together from the great universities of the country. They
would be a university in themselves. With such a faculty the future
of the University would be secure ; but with the addition of proper
equipment, as needed, the institution will expand rapidly in its service
to the state.
Particular attention is given to athletics at the University and
the baseball, football, basketball and other teams have made an ex-
cellent record during the past few years. During the past year an
athletic tournament was held at the University in which teams from
all parts of the state were present, and those attending had a splen-
did opportunity to investigate the University course and the advant-
ages offered in athletics. Owing to the excellent climate, it is pos-
sible for athletes to train in the open during the entire year, which has
proven a source of decided benefit as a diversion from the confinement
of the study hall and preparation for the real conflict.

WHO S WHO
The Northern Arizona Normal School
THE NORTHERN ARIZONA NORMAL SCHOOL is located at Flag-
staff, on the main line of the Santa Fe, in the center of the great
timber belt of northern Arizona. The scenery in this section is un-
surpassed. The San Francisco Peaks, in full view from the normal
school, in summer time wear a hood of mist during the rainy season
and in w r inter time a crown of snow. They are always beautiful and
inspiring.
The Sunset Mountain and the Cliff Dwellings are reached by team
or a"to in a few hours. The Sunset Mountain is a perfect crater,
the rim of which is from two to three miles in circumference. It
has received its name from the fact that the cinders give it the ap-
pearance of a sunset. The Cliff Dwellings are among the most ex-
tensive and the grandest in the southwest. The Petrified Forests
can be seen in a trip requiring from one to two days, and the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado is now reached from Flagstaff by auto at
a moderate expense. These are natural winders that people cross
the continent to see that they come from all the world to see.
The climatic conditions are those of the temperate zone rather than
the tropics, as in the southern part of the state. Although there is
moisture enough to grow trees over one hundred twenty-five feet
high, there is the dryness of the Rocky Mountain atmosphere, and the
heat in the summer is never oppressive.
The flora of northern Arizona is abundant and varied. Many of
the flowers, like the primrose, that bloom on the banks of Salt River
in March bloom at Flagstaff in August. The beautiful lupine grows
everywhere. The flowers are so abundant that probably there is no
place where the humming birds are so numerous as at Flagstaff in
August.
Flagstaff is a thriving little city of over two thousand inhabitants.
It is supplied with an abundance of pure mountain water, the intake
of which is more than half way up the Peaks. Having also a proper
sewer system, the sanitary conditions are all that can be desired.
The Northern Arizona Normal School has more than a statewide
reputation. Of the accredited schools in California it leads the list,
and Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Utah also recognize its
diplomas.
The faculty of this School consists of fourteen members, all of
whom have been selected with regard to the peculiar fitness for
the positions they hold. The schools represented are: Arizona
School of Music; Tempe Normal School; Eastern Illinois State Nor-
mal School ; Oshkosh Normal School ; Ypsilanti Normal School ; Illi-
nois State Normal University; University of Wisconsin; Washington

Three courses of study are maintained. A course of five years is
offered to those who enter after completing the eighth grade, and a
course of two years is offered to those who have completed a high
school course of four years. Those who do not wish to prepare to
teach may take a course of four years and receive a diploma after
completing sixteen units of work, half of which is elective. The
student is advised to make such selections as will fit him best for the
work he expects to do after completing his course. It is planned to
permit as much freedom of choice as is consistent with efficiency.
A well organized and well equipped training school is conducted in
connection with the normal school. All the eight grades are repre-
sented. The teaching force consists of a principal and three assistant
critic teachers. All have had the advantages of a normal school
training and a large experience in teaching. Besides this, two have
completed a course in Teachers' College, Columbia University. This
training school offers better opportunities to student teachers than any
school in the state. Prospective teachers do not realize how much of
their success depends upon this feature of their training. The valu-
able training received at Flagstaff is being generally recognized by
superintendents and school officers, and without further experience
than that received in their practice teaching members of the class of
'12 w T ere located in Bisbee, Tucson, Tombstone, Benson, Williams,
Flagstaff, Holbrook, Snowflake, Springerville and Eagar.
The summer school conducted by the Northern Arizona Normal
School is one of its distinguishing features. The sessions begin each
year between the 15th and the 20th of June. The attendance has
greatly increased the last two years. During the summer of 1912
there were enrolled between ninety and one hundred students. Two
purposes are kept in mind in planning the w r ork for the summer.
One is to help those who wish to prepare to take the examination and
the other to offer an opportunity to do work that may be claimed
for graduation. All work done in the summer school may be
claimed for graduation. But the purposes of the students differ. One
has the examination in mind, while another is anxious to finish the
course as soon as may be to get a diploma, and the school tries to
accommodate both.
Many high school students take advantage of the summer session.
One who finishes the high school course in May or June may enter
at the opening of the summer school and complete the prescribed
course by Christmas of the following year ; two summer terms count-
ing the same as a half year. This arrangement has made it conveni-
ent to graduate two classes a year, one at the close of school in the
spring and one the week before Christmas. The class at Christmas
IN ARIZONA
303
is known as the Midwinter Class. Regular graduating exercises are
conducted at both seasons. A large percentage of the midwinter class
finds work by the first of January. High school students should note
this. All lines of athletics flourish at the Northern Arizona Normal
and the teams from this school have won many notable victories
during the past few years in baseball, basketball and on the
gridiron.
Within the last three years over thirty thousand dollars have been
spent in improvements. Besides completing the unfinished space in
the main building, a dining hall has been built at a cost of over
twelve thousand dollars. It may be doubted whether there is a better
dining hall anywhere. It is the desire of the management to have
Northern Arizona Normal Athletes
the dining hall as homelike as it can be. For this reason it is pro-
vided with small tables, seating six each. This adds to the sociability
at meal time. The preceptress of the girls' hall and Dr. Blome and
his family always eat with the students. Dr. Blome and his family,
by the way, live in the boys' hall. In this way things are always
under the principal's direct supervision.
Any inquiry about the Northern Arizona Normal School sent to
Dr. R. H. H. Blome, Flagstaff, Arizona, will receive prompt at-
tention.

The Tempe Normal School
THE TEMPE NORMAL SCHOOL OF ARIZONA was established by an
Act of the Legislative Assembly of Arizona, approved March 10,
1885. It is pleasantly located at Tempe, a town of 1600 inhabitants,
distant but nine miles from Phoenix, the capital of Arizona. The situ-
ation is an ideal one from every point of view. Lying at or near the
center of population of the state, Tempe is easily reached by rail over
the Arizona Eastern, which gives direct connection with the main
lines of the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe systems. The fertile fields
of the Salt River Valley surround the town, delighting the eye with
their perpetual verdure and insuring an unfailing supply of fresh
fruits and vegetables, and the best of dairy products. The climate
during the entire school year is not only delightful, but wholesome and
conducive to study.
The moral and social atmosphere is all that could be desired. The
residents of the community are thrifty and industrious Americans,
most of whom have come hither from the middle and eastern states.
These people are actively interested in the welfare of the Normal
School and pride themselves upon surrounding the students with
wholesome influences.
As the sale of liquor is prohibited in Tempe and the surrounding dis-
tricts the undesirable influence of the saloon is not to be met here, and
the absence of the distractions of a large city is a distinct advantage to
the student who wishes to make the most of his time and opportunities.
On arriving at the Normal, one finds the group of buildings well
distributed over a beautiful campus of twenty acres, within convenient
walking distance of the main business portion of the town. The
grounds are laid out with well kept lawns, gravelled drives, and an
abundance of shade trees, shrubs and flowering plants in great va-
riety. Abundance of water and the care of a skillful gardener make
the campus highly attractive throughout the year. Within the limits
of the grounds the student finds abundant provision for recreation in
the excellent tennis courts, basketball cages, and the ample athletic
field with its baseball diamond and running tracks.
In addition to the main campus an additional ten acres, adjoining
the former, was recently acquired for an experimental farm.
The faculty consists of more than twenty teachers, each a specialist
in his line. The graduates now number close to five hundred, most
of whom are engaged in teaching in this state. The enrollment for
the present year is three hundred and fifty students, representing al-
most every county and section of Arizona. In addition there are
registered close to one hundred and seventy-five boys and girls in the
eight grades of the training department.
The buildings are nine in number as follows: The Main Building,
Science Building, Auditorium and Gymnasium, Training School,

Principal's Residence, Heating Plant, Dining Hall, Ladies' Dormi-
tory, accommodating one hundred and twenty-five students, and Men's
Dormitory with rooms for thirty.
It is anticipated that the present session of the Legislature will pro-
vide for the construction of further dormitory accommodations for
young lady students and that two new dormitories on the cottage-unit
plan at a cost of $18,000 each will relieve the congested conditions
that now exists at the main dormitory.
It is fully expected, too, that the Legislature will appropriate at
least $90,000 to build and equip an Industrial Arts Building to house
the departments of Manual Training, Domestic Science, and Art, all
of which are at present poorly quartered, to the impairment of the
work and the utter disparagement of expansion. It is to this school
that the state must eventually look for the training of specialists as
teachers in Household Arts and Economy including sewing, cooking,
etc., and also in woodwork, shop work, forge work, metal work, and
clay modelling. And to this end the erection of the Industrial Arts
Building will largely contribute.
There are two regular courses of study leading to graduation for
the purpose of securing a diploma to teach in the schools of this state.
(a) A minimum course of five years for graduates from the eighth
grade of the public schools.
(b) A minimum course of two years for graduates from a four
years' high school course.
Students who do not desire to become teachers may pursue the
regular five year course, omitting all the professional work and special-
izing in Latin and Spanish, English, science or mathematics. Such
a course will require four years' work. Students completing such four
year course will be granted a certificate which can be used as a creden-
tial to admit them to a college or university, but they will not receive
a diploma entitling them to teach in the public schools. Students pur-
suing such regular courses will be exempt from payment of tuition.
Owing to the central location of Tempe, students at the Normal
are given the benefit of athletic contests with teams from Mesa,
Phoenix and Tempe High schools, the Indian school and other
teams from Phoenix and vicinity. The baseball teams and football
squads from the Normal have more than held their own with the
teams with which they have clashed, and their records are most grati-
fying to the student body and the alumni. The students have an
excellent athletic field, and their gymnasium is all that could be
desired.
Room and board in the dormitories is secured for $16.50 per month
of four weeks, which includes board, room, furniture, bedding, laun-
dry, baths, electric light, steam heat, running water, use of pianos, etc.
Further information desired may be had by addressing Prof. A. J.
Matthews, President, Tempe, Arizona.

O. C. Case, State Superintendent of Schools
IN ARIZONA 309
C. O. CASE, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, was born
in Rock Island County, Illinois. His father, Harrison Case, was a
Baptist minister, and had not accumulated any more of this world's
goods than is ordinarily the lot of men of this calling who preach from
conviction. As both his parents had died by the time he was eight
years old, Mr. Case has found life an uphill journey in reality, but
has valiantly surmounted each obstacle met with until he accomplished
what was his main object in early life, a thorough education. When
fitted for the work, he began teaching at an early age in order to se-
cure funds to further his object, and while thus engaged continued
his studies to aid him in advanced work. He is, therefore, well equip-
ped for his position, since his experience has been in all the phases of
school work, as grade and high school teacher, principal and superin-
tendent. He is well known throughout the state and has held vari-
ous positions of importance in educational work here, among which is
on the faculty of the Phoenix High School. He has also been a mem-
ber of the State Teachers' Association for years, and in this has held
all the offices and has been a leader in matters of real educational
worth. Mr. Case has done much to improve the course of study in
the state and by dint of his personal experiences in the work of teach-
ing has been able to render valuable aid to many in their chosen work.
Mr. Case is a progressive Democrat and has been a faithful party
worker so far as his educational duties would permit. He has also
been for some years a contributor to important magazines printed
in the West, among them "Sunset," "West Coast" and "Pacific
Monthly."
ARTHUR HERBERT WILDE, President of the University of Arizona,
was born at Framingham, Mass., April 29, 1865, and is the son of
Joseph and Susan French Wilde. His education was received in his
native State. He was graduated from Boston University with the
class of '87, then taught for two years, when he returned for ad-
vanced work, and later entered Harvard University, receiving there
the degree A. M., 1899, and Ph. D., 1901. From 1894 he was a
member of the College Faculty at Northwestern University as in-
structor, assistant professor, and professor, his special field of instruc-
tion having been history. Dr. Wilde's experience in the East, both
as instructor and in administrative capacities, enabled him to bring to
the University of Arizona a valuable fund of knowledge and an execu-
tive ability that has meant much for the advancement of the Uni-
versity. As Registrar of the College at Northwestern, a University
that has an enrollment of about 4,500 students; principal of Evans-
ton Academy, a preparatory school having about 500 students; then
Secretary of the University and administrative assistant to the Presi-
dent, he has met and coped with questions which have ably fitted him

for his present position, a fact which he has demonstrated during his
brief administration. Dr. Wilde received his early education in the
public schools of Massachusetts, which rank eminently high in the
nation, and is deeply interested in the development of State Universi-
ties as the culmination of the public school system. He is an active
member of the American Historical Association, and was elected hon-
orary member of Phi Beta Kappa Society. Dr. Wilde is a contribu-
tor to periodicals on culture of early middle ages and general educa-
tional matters. He is a member of the Congregationalist Church, and
in politics an Independent Republican. He was married September 6,
1892, to Miss Sarah Frances Fellows, of Center Sandwich, N. H.
ARTHUR JOHN MATTHEWS, president of Tempe Normal School,
has been engaged in educational work for more than thirty years, as
teacher, principal and superintendent of public schools and as head of
the Tempe Normal. Mr. Matthews was born in Cazenovia, N. Y.,
September 3, 1860, and is the son of Patrick Henry and Anne King
Matthews, both of Irish descent. His childhood and youth were spent
on a farm and his early education received in township schools. He
then attended Cazenovia Seminary, a Methodist institution, as prepa-
ration for Syracuse University, which he attended two years, and then
supplemented the whole by a course at Poughkeepsie Business College.
He began teaching at the age of nineteen, while a student in the Semi-
nary and the University, and for several terms was thus employed
during the winter months. After leaving the University he was prin-
cipal of the schools of West Eaton, N. Y., and later superintendent at
Adams, N. Y. In 1887 he went to Wyoming and for ten years was
superintendent of schools in Rock Springs and Rawlins. The family
then removed to Arizona because of his daughter's health, and for
three years he was superintendent of Prescott schools, after which he
was elected to his present position. Having devoted practically his
entire life to school work, and advanced from the village school, as
teacher, through the various grades of educational work, Professor
Matthews has acquired a thorough knowledge of teaching and is well
equipped not only to meet all phases of responsibility incident to his
present position, but to enable those to whom he is the leading spirit,
both teacher and pupil, to make the most of every opportunity afford-
ed them in their work. His enthusiasm for his profession is not con-
fined to his actual labors, but in a general way he has been active, and
in both Wyoming and Arizona has been president of the State Teach-
ers' Association and member of the Board of Education, having held
the latter position in this state for the past twelve years. He is now
senior member of the Board. He has also been an active member of
the National Educational Association for the last twelve years, during
which he has been director for Arizona, and has served as vice presi-
dent of the Association and vice president of the Normal Department.

For four years he has been a member of the State School Law Com-

worker in the political field. In 1896 he was candidate for the posi-
tion of State Superintendent of Public Instruction in Wyoming, but
was defeated by Estelle Reele, the Republican candidate, who was the
first woman elected to a state office in the United States. For many
years Professor Matthews has been a member of the K. P. Lodge, of
which he is Past Chancellor, and for the past five years has been a
Trustee of the Grand Lodge of the State of Arizona, and with two
other Trustees has special care of the Pythian Home Funds. He has
also been an active Mason for the past five years, and has been Master
of Tempe Lodge. He is a member of the Grand Masonic Lodge of
Arizona and has been Grand Orator. January 1, 1887, he married
Miss Carrie Louise Walden, to whom have been born two children,

The family are members of the Episcopalian church.
DR. RULOLPH H. H. BLOME, President of the Northern Arizona
State Normal School, is the son of Frederick and Margaret Hanfeld
Blome, and was born in the Province of Hanover, Germany, in 1854.
His maternal grandfather was at the Battle of Waterloo. Doctoi
Blome came to America at the age of fifteen. He took a course at the
Illinois State Normal School, and later attended the University of
Jena, Germany, from which he received the degree Doctor of Phil-
osophy. He came to Arizona in 1900, and immediately associated
himself with the Tempe Normal, where he remained nine years.
During that time he was teacher of Psychology and Pedagogy, and
later Director of the Training School. Dr. Blome is a thorough
scholar, a student always, and an educator in the truest sense of the
word. He wins the confidence and co-operation of his teachers and
students, and has the faculty of obtaining the best possible results from
both. During the years he was at Tempe his success was marked,
and during the three years he has been connected with the Flagstaff
Normal the attendance has more than doubled and the work accom-
plished in the various departments has shown a corresponding im-
provement. Dr. Blome is also well known as an institute instructor,
his w r ork in this respect being highly practical and of a sort that is of
actual aid to the teacher in the life of the schoolroom. Having a com-
plete mastery of the profession of teaching, in both grade and advanced
work, his interest and intense enthusiasm are contagious, and his
efforts, whether as head of the Normal or on the platform, are pro-
ductive of the very best results. One of his most prominent charac-
teristics is the absolute thoroughness invariably inherent in the German
scholar. Dr. Blome was married November 30, 1882, to Miss Pierce.
They have four children Nora Elizabeth, Helen Margaret, Maurice
Hanfeld and Harold.

WHO S WHO
PROFESSOR E. C. BUNCH, recently appointed Assistant Superin-
tendent of the Arizona Schools, has been interested in school work
all his life, and is, therefore, eminently qualified to fill the position
to which he has been chosen. He is the son of Bradley and Jane
Boswell Bunch, and
was born in Berryville,
Ark., m 1856. His
grandfather, Nathaniel
Bunch, Captain of
Tennessee Militia,
fought under Andrevv
Jackson at the Battle
of New Orleans, and
the powder flask car-
ried by him during this
battle is still in exist-
ence and much treas-
ured for its historical
value by its possessor,
Hugh Bunch, of
Bowie, Arizona, a
nephew of Professor
Bunch. In 1876 Pro-
fessor Bunch first
came to Arizona, and
after a time left here
for Oregon, but he
freely confesses he wai.
glad to return and
that he did so with a
determination to make
Arizona his permanent home. Apart from his work as an educator,
the first important enterprise in w r hich he was engaged was the
construction of a large ditch and reservoir, now known as the
Bunch reservoir, which was the first large reservoir in Arizona.
Although the main work of his life has always been educational,
he has during the greater part of the time been devoting much
time and energy to development projects, irrigation mostly, and he
completed the Owyhee Canal in Oregon, which supplies water for
more than 40,000 acres of land. In addition to his school and
development work he has found time at various intervals to act as
Justice of the Peace, Probate Judge and Undersheriff of Apache
County, and he remembers \\hen it was customary to adjourn court
with a six-shooter. He was also a member of the Twenty-fourth
Legislature from Maricopa County, and served as chairman of the
special committee that had charge of all gambling legislation during
N ARIZONA
317
that session. He is an active member of the Odd Fellows, and
both Mrs. Bunch and he are prominent members of the M. E.
Church. Mrs. Bunch, before her marriage in September, 1885,
was Miss Ellen Weatherford, of Richfield, Mo. Professor Bunch
has one daughter, Edith, and five sons, Carl, Conway, Harrv, Alvin
and LeRoy.
HENRY QUINTUS ROBERTSON, Superintendent of the Public
Schools of Mesa, and one of the best known educators of the State,
is also a member of the State Exam-
ining Board, to which he was ap-
pointed by Governor Hunt in rec-
ognition of his excellent work as an
educator in the State of Arizona.
Mr. Robertson, the son of P. C.
and Elizabeth Tebbs Robertson,
was born in Yolo County, Califor-
nia, and passed his early life on a
farm three miles from Woodland.
His father was the first assessor of
Yolo County and joint assembly-
man from Modoc and Siskiu Coun-
ties. He is a lineal descendant of
General James Robertson, and a
cousin of Colonel Frank Robert-
son of General Price's army. Mr.
Robertson w T as educated in the pub-
lic and Normal schools of Tempe.
Having been graduated from the
latter, he at once took up the pro-

Dr. Benjamin B. Moeur
CLAY FINSON LEONARD, member of the Board of Education of
the Tempe Normal School, was born in Waubeek, Iowa, August 17,
1862. He is the son of Morgan Leonard and Mary L. Finson, both
descendants of earl}' pioneer families of Iowa. His maternal ances-
tors, however, were among the early settlers of Massachusetts, and
some of their names are prominently shown on the Massachusetts
State Records of the Revolution. His great-great-grandfather,
Thomas Finson, of Cape Ann, Mass., was corporal in the Twenty-
seventh Massachusetts Regiment, having enlisted May 29, 1775;
and his father, Thomas Finson, seaman, is on the list of American
prisoners brought to Marblehead in the cartel, "Pacific," to be ex-
changed for British prisoners. In Mr. Leonard's personality are to
be noted many of the strong characteristiss of this pioneer ancestry.
Mr. Leonard received his early education in the common schools of
Missouri, and finished at the State Normal School of Kirksville, from
which he was graduated. He has been a resident of Arizona since
1888, and Is very well known in the State, especially in and about
Maricopa County, where he has held various offices. For seven
years he held the position of County Recorder, and made an excellent
record for the able manner in which he managed the affairs of the
office. He is at present Deputy Clerk of the Superior Court of Mari-
IN ARIZONA
copa County, a position in which his marked attributes of courtesy,
promptness and absolute attention to detail are a valuable asset. Mr.
Leonard is Secretary of the Arizona Society of the Sons of the Ameri-

order. He was married in 1893 to Miss Serena Goodrich Leonard,
and thev have since made their home in Phoenix.
DR. BENJAMIN BAKER MOEUR, member of the Educational
Board of the Tempe Normal School, is known in the State not only
as a physician and surgeon, but also for the deep interest he has
taken in educational work and his important part in the political life
of Arizona during the past 16 years. Dr. Moeur has always been
active in the educational development of the State, but, being a resi-

being an ex-officio member. Dr. Moeur also served as member of
the School Board for eight consecutive years. He was born in Dech-
erd, Tenn., December 22, 1869, and coming of a family of profes-
sional men, he is but following the bent of his inherited tendencies in
his professional and educational labors. His father, Dr. J. B. Moeur,
was a leading physician of Tennessee, and his mother, who was Miss
Esther K. Knight, was a member of the well-known Knight family
of the South. In his profession Dr. Moeur is a leader, and ever
evinces a deep interest in the betterment of conditions that in any way
pertain to medical or surgical work. He is a member of the Ameri-
can and the Arizona Medical Associations, the Maricopa Medical
Society and the Southside Medical Association, being Chairman of
the latter.
Dr. Moeur was a member of the constitutional convention, took
a prominent part in the deliberations of that body, and was consid-
ered one of the ablest men in that assembly of the notably able men
of the State. He is active in political movements, and a member of
the state, county and precinct Democratic Clubs. In addition to the
above, he has also important business interests, being president of two
of the largest corporations of the state, The Southside Electric Light
& Gas Company and The Moeur-Pafford Company, a ranching and
cattle raising corporation.
If the happiest man is he "Who can carry the golden thread of
boyish enjoyment farthest through the web of life," Dr. Moeur may
then be classed among the happiest by reason of his genial personality.
He is a member of the Elks, Knights of Pythias and Odd Fellows, but
withal a home man. He was married in 1896 to Miss Honor G.
Anderson, and they have four children, John K., Vyvyan Bernice,
Jessie Belle and Ben. B., Jr.

WHO S WHO
Henry C. White
Miss Harriet T. White
HENRY C. WHITE, principal of the School for Deaf Mutes in con-
nection with the State University, at Tucson, is a native of Boston,
and lost his hearing as a result of typhus fever when four years of age.
He was educated at the American School for the Deaf at Hartford,
the Horace Mann School for the Deaf in Boston, and at Gallaudet
College for the Deaf in Washington, D. C., having been graduated
from the latter in 1880 with a B. A. degree, \vhich was awarded under
the seal and authority of Congress by President Rutherford B. Hayes,
ex-officio patron of the college. Mr. White early took to reading and
covered a w r ide field of fiction, poetry and history, and though unable
to sense the sound of rhyme, has a keen appreciation of the beauty of
language and the sentiment of poetry. By means of his habit of read-
ing only the best, Mr. White has acquired a thorough mastery of Eng-
lish, an unusual accomplishment for the deaf. After his graduation
he taught in a school for the deaf at Beverly, Mass., where he remain-
ed until called upon to organize a similar school at Salt Lake City,
which he built from the ground up, and which today ranks as one of
the best in the west. After eight years he returned to Boston to set-
tle his father's estate, and there engaged in various pursuits, among
them that of editor. He was frequently consulted by the deaf of New
England on matters of law, was induced to take up the study of law,
and after three years work compiled and published "Law Points for
Everybody," which had a phenomenal sale in New England and New
York. He frequently acted as court interpreter for mutes and has
assisted in this way some of the most noted attorneys of the country.
IN ARIZONA
321
He was also instrumental in establishing the New England Home for
Deaf Mutes, Aged, Infirm or Blind, of which his wife was first
matron. Mr. White has been twice elected secretary of the National
Association of Deaf, consisting of eighty thousand throughout the
United States, and declined a third term in this capacity. He has
done newspaper work on papers devoted to the interests of the deaf,
and written articles upon educational matters which have won for him
a national reputation as one of the best teachers of English in the pro-
fession. Mr. White married Miss Mollie E. Mann, who was deaf,
but not dumb, and they have three children, two girls and one boy, all
normal in speech and hearing. One daughter is married to a young
lawyer in New York, while the other one, Miss Harriet White, early
engaged in the profession of teaching, and is at present employed
with her father in the school at Tucson as matron and teacher of lip
reading. This school is entirely the result of Mr. White's personal
efforts extending over a period of two years. When he decided to
come to the far west to establish another school for the deaf where it
seemed most urgently needed, he chose Arizona as his field of en-
deavor, and brought with him a letter from Mayor Fitzgerald of
Boston to Mayor Christy of Phoenix, and others from a member of
the legislature, the Boston School Committee, and Secretary of the
Y. M. C. A. After Governor Hunt was elected he received a per-
sonal letter from Governor Foss, of Massachusetts, commending Mr.
White to his good offices. \Vhen his unremitting efforts in behalf of
those afflicted like himself were crowned with success and a state
school for the deaf in Arizona became a reality, Mr. White was
chosen its principal. This school is situated just north of the Univers-
ity campus and has seventeen pupils ranging from 6 to 21 years of
age, and applications for admission are being constantly received. The
building, formerly a private residence, will soon be unable to accom-
modate the number of pupils and new quarters will, therefore, be re-
quired. Thus far, the work has been extremely successful, the pupils
being ^deeply interested in the work, pleased with their home, and all
like Tucson and its climate. In this latest act in a life devoted almost
entirely to the uplifting of those of his own particular class, Mr.
White has undoubtedly accomplished the organization of a school that
will prove a boon to the many thus afflicted in Arizona, which as it
increases in proportions and usefulness will surely stand a monument
to his ability, persistence and great-heartedness.
Miss HARRIET T. WHITE, matron and teacher of the Arizona
State School for the Deaf, is the daughter of Henry Cheney White,
the principal. Miss White was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, of parents
who, though deaf, were highly educated. Her mother, Mary Eliza-
beth Mann White, was a native of Cincinnati, where the family were
neighbors and friends of the Taft and Longworth families. Though
322
WHO S WHO
born in Utah, Miss White has spent almost her entire life in Boston,
where she was educated in the best schools, and was graduated from
both High and Normal Schools. At an early age she entered the
profession of teaching, in which she proved an adept, though one of
the youngest in the profession. As an oral teacher in the
Arizona institution she taught several pupils speech and lip
reading in and outside of the school room with remarkable
success, having developed the dormant power of speech in one
girl and one boy each possessing good hearing, but incapable of in-
struction in the public schools. Miss White served three years as
teacher and assistant principal in the School for the Deaf at St. John,
N. B., where she demonstrated such proficiency in the results obtained
that she was offered a similar position in the Central New York Insti-
tute for the Deaf, but declined it to come west to assist her father in
the organization of Arizona's new School for the Deaf, where she has
served in the double capacity of matron and teacher with exceptional
ability. As matron, she has inaugurated a system which \vill doubt-
less continue permanently in the institution, and her excellent manage-
ment and wise economy have attracted the attention and approval of
Dr. Wilde, President of the University, with which the School for
the Deaf is connected. This talent of efficiency, especially in man-
agement, comes naturally to Miss White, for her mother was the
first matron of the Utah School for the Deaf, and a notable house-
keeper and manager in domestic affairs, as well as a woman of liberal
education.
E^GAR A. BROWN, secretary of the Board of Education of the
Northern Arizona Normal School, was born in Covington, Kentucky,
August 31, 1873. His father, W. W. Brown, was for years Vice
President of the First National Bank of Cincinnati. His mother,
Margaret Cambron Brown, is a direct descendant of Charles Carroll
of Carrollton. Mr. Brown received his early education in his home
schools and later attended St. Xavier College, Cincinnati, from which
he took an A. B. degree in 1893. For the next six years he was con-
nected with the Big Four and Chesapeake & Ohio railroads at Louis-
ville and Cincinnati as General Cashier, Chief Rate Clerk and Travel-
ing Freight and Passenger Agent. He came west in 1899, located in
Flagstaff and has since been a resident of Coconino County. His first
business association in Arizona was with Babbitt Brothers and for
several years he was located at Tuba and Willow Springs in charge
of their trading business on the Hopi and Navajo reservations. He
then served several years as private secretary to David Babbitt. In
1909-1910 he managed the Commercial and Weatherford hotels at
Flagstaff, and later assumed charge of the Bright Angel Hotel at the
Grand Canyon, prior to the erection of the El Tovar. Here he re-
mained until 1911, when he became owner of the Flagstaff Steam
Laundry, which he has since conducted. Mr. Brown served in the
Kentucky State Militia in every capacity from private to captain, and

three years in the National Guard of Arizona as 1st Sergeant of Co.
I of Flagstaff. During the past eight years he has been a member of
the Democratic Central Committee of Coconino County, and either
Chairman or Secretary. He is a member of the Elks and Knights of
Columbus, and during the past year has been Grand Knight of De
Silva Council. Mr. Brown was married October 28, 1904, to Miss
Alice Kumsden, at the Grand Canyon.
GEORGE BABBITT, member of the Board of Education of the
Northern Arizona Normal School, is a member of the firm of Babbitt
Brothers, Flagstaff. Mr. Babbitt has for years been an enthusiastic
worker in the general cause of education in the state and his efforts in
behalf of the advancement of the Normal School have been productive
of excellent results.
MRS. EVA MARIA MARSHALL, the present postmistress of Flag-
staff, which position she has held for three consecutive terms, is the
widow of James Marshall, one
of the best known and popular
men of the State. Mrs. Mar-
shall is a native of Madison
County, N. Y., a daughter of
Jacob and Adelia Fairbairne
Schuyler, and a direct descend-
ant of General Schuyler. Her
education was received at the
Yates Polytechnic School and
Cortland Academy, both in her
native State. She has been a
resident of Arizona since De-
cember, 1882, and was the first
teacher in the northern part of
the State, having taught near
where the Normal now stands
in a little log school house.
She has also been for years an
active member of the W. C. T.
U., and especially interested in
the betterment of civic condi-
tions. She is generally recog-
nized as one of the most public
spirited women in the State, and
it was she who held the first
temperance meeting in the
northern part of the State,
managed the first Fourth of July celebration in that section, and
assisted in organizing the first Literary Society.

C). N. CRESWELL, State Inspector of Weights and Measures, and
the first incumbent in this office, that has been created since the com-
ing of Statehood, was born near Knoxville, Term., on November 29th,
1852. His father William A. Creswell, and his mother, who was
formerly Miss Phoebe A. Bick-
nell, were both natives of Ten-
nessee. The family moved to
Texas in 1859, and it was there
that Mr. Creswell was reared
and received his education. His
early life was spent on a farm
which he left at his majority to
take up other pursuits, his first
venture being a political posi-
tion in the capacity of Deputy
Sheriff in Belton, Texas, which
position he held for five years.
He then removed to Albany,
Texas, and engaged in the mer-
cantile business, remaining there
until April, 1885. At that time
he disposed of his business and
removed to Arizona, arriving at
Payson, Arizona, about June,
1885, where he again engaged
in the mercantile business. Mr.
Creswell sold his business at
Payson, and in December, 1890, moved to Globe to accept the posi-
tion of Under Sheriff of Gila County, which position he held for six
years, and afterwards for two years he served as Clerk of the District
Court of Gila County. Both of these positions he filled in a very
creditable manner, receiving many commendations for the way he
conducted both of these offices. In 1900 he again turned his attention
to the mercantile business, and for ten years following was manager
of Alexander Bros', store at Ft. Thomas, and later manager of Morris
Simon's store at Bowie, until his appointment on June 3, 1912, by
Governor Geo. W. P. Hunt to his present position. Mr. Creswell
has always been a true Democrat, and also an active party worker,
being particularly prominent in the political affairs of Gila County
for a number of years. For eighteen years or more he has been a
close personal and business friend of Governor Hunt. The record
Mr. Creswell made for law enforcement in his positions in the
Sheriff's office and the success he has made as a practical business man
assures great success in the administration of the new department of
Weights and Measures. Mrs. Creswell was formerly Miss Cath-
arine J. Blair, a native of Iowa.

W. H. PLUNKETT, State Examiner, has resided in Arizona for the
past three years. He is a native of Missouri, and was educated at
Westminster College in that State. Having taken up accounting as
a profession, Mr. Plunkett has followed this line of work for fifteen
years, and from hard
study, close application,
and vast experience in
all the various classes of
industrial, corporate and
municipal enterprises and
public utilities has be-
come very proficient.
Since coming to Phoenix
Mr. Plunkett formed a
partnership with C. P.
Lee in the practice of
public accounting, and
the firm operates under
the name of Lee &
Plunkett. By rendering
good and efficient service
to their clients these gen-
tlemen have acquired a
large practice and their
offices are perhaps the
best equipped in the west
for handling accounting,
auditing, office organiza-
tion and systematizing
and installing accounting
systems. Upon the con-
vening of the first State
Legislature, Governor
Hunt appointed Mr. Plunkett a member of the Board of Special Ex-
aminers, whose duty it was to examine and report to him the general
condition of the various inst'tutions, offices and commissions of the
State. By joint resolution of the Legislature, Mr. Plunkett was em-
picyed to install an accounting system in each of the State institutions.
Upon the creation of the office of State Examiner, Governor Hunt
appointed him to the position, which was unanimously confirmed by
the Senate. This act became effective September 20th, and provides
for an uniform system of accounting in all county offices, and judging
from Mr. Plunkett's experience in governmental and municipal af-
fairs, it seems safe to predict that he will install a system which will
prove efficient, eliminating the unnecessary duplication of work and
ma!-ing the necessary work simple in operation.

The Arizona Tax Commission
THE TAX COMMISSION, is to the raising of revenue what
the Corporation Commission is to the matter of regulating corpora-
tions, and the creation of this Commission places Arizona greatly in
advance of many of the older and more completely organized States.
Here there will be throughout the State a practically uniform system
or levying and collecting taxes systematized and placed upon a busi-
ness-like foundation. So powerful is this body that it can subpoena
witnesses and punish for failure to answer the process; it can hail
county assessors before it and punish them for any infraction of the
orders of the Commission ; it can put aside the rulings of the County
Boards of Equalization and substitute others in their places; and it
can direct the Attorney General or County Attorneys to institute suit
for the collection of back taxes or unpaid penalties. All the forms
and blanks used by the individual assessors and collectors are pre-
scribed by the Tax Commission. Great as are the powers accorded
this body, the work laid out for it will equal, if not exceed, the metes
of its powers, as every incorporated town and city in the State must
be visited by the members of the Commission, in order that a compre-
hensive knowledge of tax values throughout the State may be ac-
qi'ired. In addition to which, the Commission is charged to investi-
gate all complaints of unjust taxation and to determine to what ex-
tent thp complaint is founded on fact. The law provides that all
assessors shall furnish annually to the Commission the tax rolls of
their respective counties, as a basis for their work. Before the filing
OT their preliminary report, the compiling of which will be a monu-
mental task, two years are allowed to elapse, and a biennial report
will be required thereafter with recommendations of changes which
seem necessary to the best interests of the State. The task of naming
the men who would compose the Commission was Governor Hunt's,
and since it necessitated the selection of three men exceptionally well
informed on the subject of taxation and state affairs in general, it
proved no easy one to him, but his selection has met with general ap-
proval. A little information of general interest regarding each of the
Commissioners follows :
C. M. ZANDER was chairman of the Tax Commission in May,
1912, and is chairman for the years 1913 and 1914. He is a native of
Wisconsin, having been born in Milwaukee in 1875. His grammar
school education was obtained in Minneapolis, Cairo and Bay City,
Michigan, and in Eastman, Wisconsin. He finished his schooling at
the Omaha High School, where he maintained himself by owning and
carrying circulation routes on the Omaha World Herald at the time
W. J. Bryan was editorial writer for it. He cast his first vote for
328 VV H O ' S W H O
Bryan in 1895 before coming to Arizona, and firmly believes he will
yet cast another and winning vote for his first choice. In December,
1896, Mr. Zander came to Phoenix. Almost upon his arrival he
formed a lasting friendship with the present Governor, Geo. W. P.
Hunt, then member of the Territorial Legislature, from Gila County.
For four years he had control of the circulation of the Arizona Re-
publican. In 1901 he became the first probate clerk of Maricopa
County, and upon the expiration of his term in that office he removed
to Buckeye, where he took an active part in the development of that
section. For four years, as secretary-treasurer and general manager
of the White Tank Canal Company, he was forced to bear the brunt
of one of the bitterest water wars ever \vaged in Arizona. The suc-
cessful outcome of that issue has brought Mr. Zander much deserved
commendation from the farmers of that section and the business men
of Phoenix. For several years he was deputy assessor of Maricopa
County, in which capacity he made the best possible use of the oppor-
tunities afforded him to study land values and methods of taxation.
He met with much opposition in his fight for fairness in taxation and
that experience w r ill prove a valuable aid in making decisions as mem-
ber of the Tax Commission. Mr. Zander has for some time been
associated with the Valley Realty and Trust Company, which connec-
tion he severed to become Tax Commissioner. In 1901 he was mar-
ried to Miss Clara Miller, daughter of the late Winchester Miller,
one of the noted pioneers of Tempe. After a happy married life of
six years, Mrs. Zander died suddenly, leaving her husband and two
small children to mourn her loss. Mr. Zander is of German extrac-
tion, but like all typical Americans, the blood of many nationalities
runs through his veins Dutch, German, French, English, Irish and
Scotch. He believes in standard breds rather than thorough breds.
He comes from fighting stock too, his family has been fully represented
in every war of the Republic since its foundation and in the French
and Indian wars of the Colonies. Likewise, his is a race of insurg-
ents, as his people engaged in conflict against the English in 1776 and
the South in 1861. In 1896 he thought it time for the North to get
a licking so he became a radical Democrat, thereby perpetuating the
traditions of his race. Ever since, he has been a strenuous advocate of
the rule of the people. In religion, Mr. Zander has very strong con-
victions, yet he holds to breadth and tolerance, and is more interested
in the principles that underlie the different sects of the Christian faith
than in the minor differences that separate them. He is a member of
the Grand Lodge Order Knights of Pythias. Commissioner Zander
is well esteemed for his sterling worth and his many friends prophesy
a period of great usefulness as a member of this powerful body.
CHARLES R. HOWE, member of the Tax Commission from Co-
chise County, is one of the practical assessors of the State. He is also

330 WHO'S WHO
a native of Wisconsin, and was born at Darlington, May 8, 1871. At
the age of twelve he moved with his parents to South Dakota, where
they encountered many of the hardships incidental to life in a new
country. Here they remained eight years, when they moved to South-
ern California. In Los Angeles Mr. Howe attended the Los Angeles
Business College, and was graduated from three departments with
honor, being the only one out of a class of 200 who received diplomas
from two departments in the same year. Here also he met Miss
Maude L. Henderson, now Mrs. Howe, who was a classmate
of his. For four years Mr. Howe held position as Assistant
Secretary of the Merchants & Manufacturers' Association of Los
Angeles, which he resigned in 1901 to come to Arizona. He settled in
Cochise County, which is still his home, and took a position with one
of the large mining companies. He soon became interested in politics
and in 1905 was made Clerk of the Board of Supervisors of Cochise.
Two years later, when made assessor, he found the county with an
assessed valuation of less than $10,000,000, and an abnormally high
rate of taxation, and during the first year of his administration the
assessed valuation was more than doubled, the rate lowered, and the
income increased. It was about that time that Mr. Howe began
making a profound study of the tax matter and acquired knowledge
that proved very valuable and was largely used in the drafting of the
bill creating the Tax Commission, and which will undoubtedly be of
inestimable worth in determining matters that come before the Com-
mission. Mr. Howe has also served as Secretary pro tern, of the Fair
Commission and later of the Cattle Sanitary Board, which he re-
signed to devote his entire attention to his duties as Tax Commissioner.
He is well known and exceedingly popular, and belongs to the Elks,
Knights of Pythias and Fraternal Brotherhood.
P. J. MILLER, member Tax Commission During the hardships
through which the country went during the great civil war, to be
correct, on June 24, 1863, P. J. Miller, the third member of the
Arizona State Tax Commission, was born on his father's farm near
the little town of Durhamville, in Oneida County, in the Empire
State of New York. Two years after his birth the father died, the
farm was sold and the family moved to Buffalo, where he attended
the grammar and high schools and laid the foundation for the vast
amount of practicable information he now has at his command. Mr.
Miller went to Chicago at the age of 17, but in less than two years
thereafter, the call of the West being strong within him, he started
for Prescott, Arizona, where he arrived in the fall of 1883. He has
been a resident of Arizona practically ever since. His first
employment was secured with Superintendent Craig of the Do-
soris silver mine and his job was ore sorting. When the mine
shut down the young man took a job as storekeeper at Fort Whipple,
IN ARIZONA 331
using there to good advantage his knowledge of the general merchan-
dise business gained in Buffalo and Chicago after leaving school. In
those stirring days at Fort Whipple promotion came to him early and
he was successively forage master, corral master and finally acting
superintendent of the depot, with thousands of dollars worth of
stores in his charge. This was during the Crook and Miles cam-
paigns against Chief Geronimo and his Apaches. After leaving the
service of the quartermaster's department of the army he went to
New York and was employed as a salesman for a short time. In
1896 he was happily married to Miss Alice M. Waldby, of Little
Falls, N. Y., but the lure of the West was again upon him and in
the fall of 1900 he settled on a homestead near the town of Yuma, in
the fertile Yuma valley. In his agricultural activities he soon became
a leading member of his community and assisted in building the
farmers' canals in that valley and ran the first water there for the
farmers. Shortly after this he assisted in the organization of the Yuma
County Water Users' Association and became its secretary, and as such
was an important factor in bringing the reclamation service to a thor-
ough knowledge of the needs and great possibilities of the valley so
that a government project was instituted there. He remained secretary
of the Water Users' Association until 1909, but in the meantime he
became interested in politics and was elected councilman of the town
of Yuma in 1906, and helped pass the first ordinance compelling the
laying of cement sidewalks, street improvements and sewers in the
thriving southern city. Soon after this he was appointed clerk of the
Board of Supervisors of Yuma County, in recognition of his services
to the Democratic party in the election of 1908 and held that position
until his appointment to the Tax Commission by Governor Hunt.
All his life Mr. Miller has been consistently a progressive man, affili-
ating with the Democratic party. He is a strong supporter of Gover-
nor Hunt's policy of running the business affairs of the State in a
businesslike way. A man of varied experience and broad knowledge,
with an acquaintance of land values in Arizona probably not equaled
by any member of the commission of which he is a part, Mr. Miller is
a material addition to the strong personnel of the Commission.
W. T. WEBB, one of the first Presidential Electors from Arizona, is
the son of Gilbert and Almira Taft Webb, of Salt Lake City, where
he was born in 1865, and educated in the public schools and Univers-
ity. He first came to Arizona in January, 1881, and located at Tomb-
stone, where he remained about one year, and moving from there to
Graham County, became associated with his father in business. In
1887 this business was disposed of and he turned his attention to stock
business, in which he was engaged for four years, when he returned to
commercial life, this time as an independent venture and on a small
scale, but from the first his methods were such as to commend him to

the public, and his business has gradually increased until he is now
considered one of the leading business men of the state. He is presi-
dent of the Webb-Merrill Commercial Company of Pima, director of
the Bank of Safford, ow r ner of the Seventy-Six cattle ranch in the
Graham Mountains, and interested in various other enterprises in that
section. Mr. Webb has long taken a prominent part in the political
life of Arizona, is one of the local leaders of the Democratic party, and
it is fitting that he should have had the honor of casting for the people
of the state one of their first votes for President of the United States.
He was a member of the Twenty-Second Legislature, receiving all
the votes but two in the Pima precinct ; was re-elected to the Twenty-
Third Legislature, and was the only man in that body who was elected
to succeed himself. In all he has represented Graham County three
times in the Legislature, and w r as Speaker of the House in the Twenty-
Third Legislature. He has also served two terms as Mayor of Pima
with excellent results to the city. As a member of the Constitutional
Convention he was known as a progressive, when in connection with
the ablest men of that assembly, he took a leading part in the compila-

tion of the Constitution. During the state campaign he was identified
with the progressive Democracy. Mr. Webb was married in 1887 to
Miss Sarah Burns, daughter of Enoch and Elizabeth Burns, of Pima.
WILEY E. JONES, attorney at law, a native of Sangamon County,
Illinois, has been a resident of Arizona for twenty years, and is one of
the most widely known men in the entire state. He is the son of
Joshua W. and Polly A. Wills Jones, both of whom are natives of
Kentucky and were born in
the same county as Abraham
Lincoln. Mr. Jones received
his education in Illinois and
studied law for four years
with General John M. Palm-
er. He was admitted to prac-
tice with high honors by the
Supreme Court of the State of
Illinois, where he followed his
profession for some years. For
two terms he represented his
native county in the Legisla-
ture, and in 1889 was the
Democratic nominee for
Speaker of the" House. Dur-
ing the same session he made
the speech placing in nomina-
tion General Palmer for U. S.
Senator. For ten years Mr.
Jones was District Attorney
of Graham County. In 1898
he was appointed 1st Lieuten-
ant in Company A, of the Rough Riders, but his duties as District
Attorney compelled him to temporarily decline the appointment.
Shortly after, however, upon the adjournment of the Graham County
Court, he enlisted as 1st Lieutenant of the 1st Territorial Volunteer
Infantry, served for seven and one-half months, and was mustered out
at Albany, Ga. Although Mr. Jones has had no collegiate education,
and beyond a brief term in the high school at Springfield, 111., his
knowledge has come from his own struggle on the Illinois farm and
the district school, he is widely known in this state as one of the lead-
ing campaigners on the stump. He is a Past Sachem of the Improved
Order of Red Men of Arizona jurisdiction and for four years served
as Great Representative to the Great Council of the United States. He
has long been a member of the I. O. O. F. and Knights of Pythias.
At the recent election he was elected by a large majority, one of
Arizona's three Presidential Electors on the Democratic ticket.

The Arizona Land Commission
(By Mulford Winsor, Chairman Land Commission)
By the terms of the Enabling; Act, under which Arizona was admit-
ted to the Union, the new state has the right to select from the unap-
propriated, non-mineral public lands, for the benefit of her various
institutions, two million three hundred and fifty thousand acres, in
addition to which four sections in each township 2, 16, 32 and 36
are set aside for the benefit of the public schools. Since the area of
the state is 1 13,000 square miles, it may be seen that the public schools
of Arizona will receive the benefit of about eight million acres of
land, while the total acreage of state lands for all purposes is brought
to nearly ten and a half millions. Is it strange that the state should
look well to the conservation of this princely inheritance?
These lands are valuable for many purposes timber, grazing, agri-
culture, etc. but chief among them is agriculture. Immense as is
Arizona's mineral wealth, and much greater as it will grow, it is des-
tined that the state's fame, in years to come, will be based upon its
extensive and varied agriculture. The valleys and mesas of this great
inland empire, marked by every degree of climate from temperate to
tropical, are rich beyond compare, lacking only water to make them
add to the world's production of food stuffs. And there are many
ways of developing water by means of storage reservoirs, for the im-
pounding of the floods which annually wash the mountain sides and
fill the intervening canyons; by means of dams to divert the streams of
the valleys from their channels ; by means of artesian wells, and in
other ways. Only a few of the opportunities afforded by nature for
the watering of Arizona's hitherto waste places have as yet been
taken advantage of, therefore a very small percentage of the land has
been cultivated.
It is now the state's business, having accepted these millions of
acres, to select them. Then it is the state's business to so administer
this great wealth as to bring the greatest good to the greatest number.
It is in this spirit that the new state has approached the subject. In
the absence of definite information as to the lands to be selected, or of
the uses to which they and the school sections may be put, the first
state legislature deemed it wise to postpone the establishment of a
definite and permanent plan for their handling, control and disposi-
tion, and to appoint a State Land Commission, of three members,
whose duty it is to make personal examination of the public lands of
the state, select the most valuable in satisfaction of the grants for
institutions, investigate the school sections, and secure all information
concerning their desirability and adaptability, and to make report to
IN ARIZONA
336
WHO S WHO
the governor and legislature, setting forth a complete and detailed
plan of handling all of these lands. The commission consists of
Mulford Winsor of Yuma, chairman ; Cy Byrne of Pinedale, a practi-
cal forester, and William A. Moody of Thatcher, a man of wide
experience in land matters. The chief clerk of the board is E. J.
Trippel, w r ho was for a number of years registrar of the United States
Land Office for Arizona. . The commission has a full realization of
its great responsibility, and hopes to discharge it in creditable manner.
The Arizona Land Commission is not only gathering, for the bene-
fit of the legislature, even' sort of information that can be of any value
and there is a world of it but is building the foundation of what
it is thought will be the greatest, most comprehensive and most per-
fectly systematized State Land Office in the Union. When the exami-
nation now being made of school lands is complete, and the institu-
tional grant lands shall have been selected, the land office records will
show, in the most intelligible and comprehensive form, all that any-
one could possibly wish to know about any sub-division thereof.
Whether the lands are to be sold or leased, or both, there need be no
guesswork. What each tract is good for, what it contains and what
it is worth, can be told, and reliably, at a glance. Nor is this all.
The Land Commission considers state-building to be its chief duty,
and is therefore gathering information which will enable it to make
accurate and intelligent reply to the thousands of queries that will
doubtless come to it from all quarters, whether such inquiries relate
to state lands, government lands, or lands in private ownership, or to
general or local conditions. There will be accurate data regarding
irrigation enterprises completed, undertaken or projected and irri-
gation possibilities; regarding the industries in which Arizona is con-
cerned, and the adaptability of the different sections to their develop-
ment ; regarding everything of value to the prospective homeseeker,
investor or business man. In short, the Land Commission proposes to
know all there is to know about Arizona, to record the facts in get-at-
able form, and to use them to the state's best advantage. It is a great
and inspiring work, which has been entered upon with enthusiasm,
and is being carried forward vigorously and optimistically.
MULFORD WINSOR, chairman of the State Land Commission, was
born in Jewell City, Kansas, May 31, 1874. His father was
editor of the Jewell City Republican, and when but seven years
old, he began to get an insight into the work of a newspaper office,
and much of his education was obtained in this way. In 1885 the
family moved to Fort Smith, Arkansas, where he worked at the
printing trade and attended high school while serving as journeyman
printer. With politics as with newspaper work, he early acquired a
thorough knowledge of the subject, and since his coming to Arizona
he has been a remarkable influence in the Democratic party, an in-
IN ARIZONA
337
flue nee distinguished by his consistent advocacy of progressive prin-
ciples. He came to Prescott in 1892, where he remained two
years, and then removed to Yuma. In journalism he is a leader in
the state, and a writer of exceptional ability, being both fluent and
accurate. Mr. Winsor was the first historian of Arizona, and his
work in this particular is widely known. In 1896 he established The
\ uma Sun, and he has also owned and edited The Tucson Citizen,
Phoenix Enterprise, and Daily Globe, of Globe. As editor of the
latter paper he wrote the first editorials appearing in the state advo-
cating the Initiative, Referendum and Recall, and calling upon the
Democratic party to champion the cause of popular government in
connection with the work of framing Arizona's constitution. He was
selected in Yuma county as delegate to the Constitutional Conven-
tion, and was Chairman of the Committee on Legislative Departments,
which had charge of the Initiative and Referendum Article of the
Constitution. Mr. Winsor was secretary to Governor Hunt until his
appointment as member of the Land Commission. He is a member of
the Yuma Lodge of Elks, and has served as District Deputy Grand
Exalted Ruler, the highest honor to be conferred by this order in the
state.
WILLIAM A. MOODY, member of the State Land Commission, is
a native of Nevada, and son of William C. and Cynthia Damron
Moody, pioneers of that State. He was born June 28, 1870. In
1886 he came to Arizona, and for one year studied in the Latter Day
Saints' Academy at Thatcher. He was married June 4, 1894, to
Ella Adelia Williams at Thatcher. Shortly afterward they went to
the South Sea Islands and he spent almost four years there as mission-
ary in Samoa without mercenary compensation, during which time
he learned to read and write the language of the natives, and for two
years at his own expense taught a free school. Here Mrs. Moody
died in 1895, leaving one daughter, Hazel, who was born in Samoa,
May 3, 1895. Before she was a year old, Mr. Moody sent her in
care of returning missionaries to Arizona, a distance of about seven
thousand miles. On May 17, 1899, he was again united in marriage,
to Sarah E. Blake, and of this union there are six children, viz : Ruth,
Adelia, Flora, Mabel, Rupert and Alton. Mr. Moody says he wills
that human beings shall be, and that they shall be happy. In 1898
he was appointed to fill a vacancy caused by the death of Judge Dam-
ron in the office of Probate Judge and ex-Officio County School Super-
intendent, and was twice elected to succeed himself. At the end of
the year 1902 these offices were separated, and Mr. Moody was twice
elected to the office of County Superintendent. In August, 1900, he
conducted the first summer school held for teachers in Graham
County, and possibly in the Territory. Aside from his political ac-
tivities he is prominently identified with the commercial life of the
338 WHO'S WHO
state. He was one of the organizers, and is now general manager of the
Mt. Graham Lumber Company, which built the first and only lum-
ber flume in the state. It is seven miles long and conveys the lumber
from the top to the base of Mt. Graham, and is one of the most
important industries of the Gila Valley. He is also President of the
Thatcher Implement and Mercantile Company, a stockholder in the
Bank of Safford, and owns a farm of 280 acres, as well as other val-
uable property in the state. Mr. Moody has been for the most part
educated by self effort, and for years has followed a regularly defined
course of study. Active in church affairs all his life, he has been
steadily promoted from minor positions in the Church to that of Stake
Superintendent of The Young Men's Mutual Improvement Associa-
tion of the Thatcher Ward, and under his leadership, the people of
Thatcher have built, by popular subscription, one of the most mag-
nificent churches in the state. Responding to a call from the First
Presidency of the Church, again Mr. Moody took his departure for
the South Sea Islands, this time to preside over the Samoan Mission,
including the Friendly Islands, where his duties necessitated a great
deal of traveling, the two missions aggregating over forty thousand
miles, the expenses of this traveling being chiefly met by himself.
Here he not only had charge of the spiritual activities of the mission,
but also the general management of two large cocoanut plantations
covering about 1,215 acres, from which he cleared a dense growth of
tropical timber in order to plant the land to cocoanuts, with the idea
of making the mission self-sustaining. During this stay of two years
and nine months, in addition to the above, he established thirteen new
branches of the church and in each of them a free public school, erected
several commodious school and mission buildings, and did a great
many other things of minor importance. Through these varied ex-
periences and responsibilities Mr. Moody has acquired an unusual
breadth of thought and stability of character, w r hich are of immense
value in his official capacity.
CY BYRNE, a member of the State Land Commission, is especially
well qualified for the duties of the office, since he was connected with
the Forestry Service for a number of years, and also traversed many
miles through Arizona while a member of the Territorial Rangers,
having served two years in that capacity before he became affiliated
with the National Forest work. Mr. Byrne is a native of the Buckeye
State, having been born in Sandusky in 1871. He has been identified
with many enterprises since coming to Arizona and has an excellent
idea of the values of land throughout the State. He came to Arizona
in 1894, worked in the Black Warrior and the Old Dominion Mines
for some time, after which he entered the employ of the Old Domin-
ion Commercial Company. He has had practical experience as a
miner, having prospected for several years, and is still interested in a
EN ARIZONA 339
number of valuable claims in the Superior District. As Land Com-
missioner he brings to the office a fund of experience gained in the
various enterprises where first hand knowledge of the worth of the
land can best be obtained ; and to this may be added his experience in
Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, where he was engaged in the cattle
business for some time. As Deputy Sheriff of Gila County he was
known as an energetic and fearless officer. He is closely identified
with the fraternal life of the State, being a thirty-third degree Mason
and a member of the B. P. C). E. As a Democrat of the progressive
type he took an active part in the Statehood campaign, and later in
the choosing of the officials to govern the new State, and he ranks as
one of the leaders of the progressive democracy of Arizona.
LEROY AUSTIN LADD, secretary to Governor Hunt, is another ex-
ample of the young man who survives hard knocks by regarding them
as simply part of the game of getting ahead. His chief inheritances
were a mind of his own and good health to back it up in emergencies,
two important adjuncts to success which he still retains. The hard
knocks were an education in themselves, for to the young man prop-
erly constituted mentally they reveal the common experience of mil-
lions, and start deep thought in regard to national and state problems
bearing upon adequate reward for honest work, and the square deal
in short, the great problem of humanity as it should be presented and
solved in a country like ours. Leroy Ladd was born in Duanesburgh,
New York, October 25, 1884, on the family homestead, which was
part of a large land grant ceded to one of his ancestors, as reward for
services performed during the French and Indian War. His father
was a stockman, making a specialty of thoroughbred horses, a number
of which made enviable track records. But the subject of this sketch
had a more strenuous experience in store than is usually afforded by a
comfortable homestead, and at the age of six was introduced to the
outside world, when his father left New York and went to Connecti-
cut, Oklahoma and Nebraska, pursuing his accustomed business. His
father was also active in political life, served three successive terms as
Mayor of Bloomfield, Connecticut, and in Oklahoma took an active
part in public affairs. Leroy Ladd was educated in the schools of New
York and Connecticut, was graduated from the public high school at
Hartford, and then spent one year at Leland Stanford, Jr., Univers-
ity. Following this a year was spent ranching in Oklahoma and the
Indian Nations, but the desire for more education being strong, he left
the ranch to enter Trinity College, Hartford, Conn., where he re-
mained three years and was graduated with honors in psychology and
philosophy. Newspaper work then attracted him and he became asso-
ciated with the staff of the Hartford Daily Courant. Commencing as
general reporter, he later did special writing, and was soon holding
340
WHO S WHO
the positions of staff correspondent and automobile editor. Subse-
quently for about a year, he was on the staff of the San Francisco
Chronicle. On locating in Globe, Arizona, he served in turn as editor
and editorial writer of the Silver Belt. Later he organized the Globe
Bureau of Mines, a syndicate which supplied accurate news and spec-
ial articles on Arizona mines for
mining and financial journals,
the influence of which was ap-
parent in discouraging wildcat
schemes. Mr. Ladd served as
president and manager of the en-
terprise, and many articles were
published over his name by lead-
ing financial papers. In connec-
tion with this he established the
Mining News Letter, which at-
tained a circulation of 5,600
weekly within four months, and
the publicity this afforded was
of untold benefit to the Globe-
Miami district. Mr. Ladd's ad-
vent into the political life of
Arizona occurred soon after his
arrival in Globe, where he or-
ganized and was president of the
"Young Turks," an organiza-
tion enlisted to fight for clean
politics and progressive princi-
ples. It was the first political
organization in Arizona to de-
clare for the initiative, referen-
dum and recall. Its members took an active part in the election of
delegates to the Constitutional Convention from Gila County, and
every candidate they supported after the primaries was elected. Mean-
while, other counties in Arizona had organized along similar lines,
and the movement had widespread influence in behalf of the progres-
sive cause. During the campaign of the first general election of state
officers, Mr. Ladd was publisher and editor of the Daily Globe, which
most effectively aided the cause of the progressive Democrats, every
one of whose candidates was elected in Gila County. When the first
State Legislature convened in March, 1912, Mr. Ladd covered the
proceedings for the Associated Press, and before its adjournment in
June, 1912, he was appointed to his present position, Secretary to Gov-
ernor Hunt. In performing the various duties of this position, which
has been filled to the entire satisfaction of those concerned, he has dis-
played not only marked ability but the utmost tact and courtesy.

June, 1900; again entered
the same College, and was
graduated in 1903 with the degree Bachelor of Science, and received
the medal awarded for the highest average in the class, and was second
in standing in composition and elocution. During his term at college
he took a leading part in all the dramatic performances, frequently
playing leading parts, and was tackle on the football team for three
seasons. After leaving college he took an active part in the stock
business and was engaged in riding ranges for a year. His next move
was to the logging camps of Northern Arizona, where he spent two
years. In 1906 he was nominated on the Democratic ticket for Re-
corder of Coconino County against a Republican, who had held the
office for six years, and Mr. Boyce was elected by 150 majority; he
was re-elected for the succeeding term by 350 majority, and held the
office until Arizona became a State. At the beginning of 1907 he

shillings for carrying an armload of wood on Sunday. Captain
Ingalls' mother, formerly Miss Sophronia Thomas, was also a
descendant of Puritan stock. Captain Ingalls received the benefit
of the common schools, after which he entered the University or
California. He was a classmate of John Hays Hammond, James
Budd (afterward Governor of California) and other equally promi-
nent men. He married before completing his course at the Uni-

Ingalls is serving his third term as Surveyor General, which will
expire in 1916. He has held practically all the political offices in
the County of Yuma, as well as being Mayor of the city of that name,
and served as a member of the Territorial Legislature. He came. to
Arizona as a young man, in 1882, and has been actively identified with
the advancement and upbuilding of the Territory since that time. He
served as Assistant Secretary of the Territory when he first came to
Arizona, and has since been connected with its official life. There
have been born to Captain and Mrs. Ingalls six children, three of
whom are living: Walter, draughtsman in the Surveyor General's
office ; Charles, an invalid ; and Addie, Librarian Carnegie Public
Library of Phoenix.
CHARLES P. MULLEN, President of the Arizona Cattle Growers'
Association, and General Manager and Treasurer of the Arizona
Cattle Company, is a resident of Tempe. Mr. Mullen was born in
Butte County, California, September 8, 1873, and is the son of Joseph
B. and Mamie E. Mullen. He was graduated with the class of 1895
from the Tempe Normal School, and for the succeeding three years
was employed by Thomas Hagan as Superintendent, having charge of
the buying and selling of cattle. When Mr. Hagan retired from
business, he secured a similar position with the Turkey Track Cattle
Company at their ranches in Tempe, to which cattle from their Mexi-
can ranches were shipped to be fattened and sold. After four years
he engaged in business on his own account, farming and fattening
cattle, in which he continued until 1907, when he organized the
Arizona Cattle Company. Of this company he was elected general
manager and treasurer, W. J. Kingsbury president and Mrs. V. C.
Kingsbury secretary. The business of the company is raising cattle
on their ranges on the Santa Fe west of Prescott and fattening them
for the Los Angeles market on their own lands in the Salt River
Valley. The company has been successful from the beginning, and
their business, which is constantly increasing, is developing into one
of the foremost in the State. Mr. Mullen is a recognized authority
on the subject of cattle raising and has been one of the leading mem-
bers of the Arizona Cattle Growers' Association for some years. In
1911 he was elected Vice President of the Association, and at the
annual meeting in 1912 was elected its President. In addition to the
cattle business his interests are varied. He is one of the directors of
the Union Bank & Trust Company, Phoenix. In politics, until the
past year, when he joined the Progressives, Mr. Mullen was a Repub-
lican, but never an office-holder. He is a member of the Odd

WILLIAM M. COSTLEY, President of the firm of William M.
Costley & Co., real estate dealers, Phoenix, and member of Board of
Curators, State Library, is one of the best known real estate men in
Arizona. Mr. Costley was born in Lawrence County, Missouri,
Febuary 11, 1864. His father, who was a pioneer of that State,
settled there in 1830 and engaged in farming. William Costley,
having lived on a farm until twenty years of age, had rather limited
facilities for acquiring an education to that time, when he entered
Pierce City Baptist College, completed the course and engaged in
[ N ARIZONA

teaching. After two years at this occupation he became interested
in mercantile work, at which he spent fifteen years. He then spent
several years as traveling salesman, and lived in Missouri, Idaho,
Kansas and Illinois, and in February, 1906, came to Arizona. He
at once became interested in real estate, soon saw the possibilities in
this line, and shortly established the firm of which he is now presi-
dent. His success from the beginning has been continuous, and the
William M. Costley
scope of his activities constantly broadening. Mr. Costley is a staunch
Democrat, always active in assisting others to attain their ambitions
in political matters, but has devoted his efforts on his own behalf to
his business interests. He has never been a candidate for political posi-
tion and has held none prior to his appointment by Governor Hunt as
member of the Board of Curators. April 17, 1892, he married Miss
Effie M. Scott, of Aurora, Missouri.

Frank P. Trott
FRANK P. TROOT, Civil Engineer and pioneer of Phoenix, was
born in McMinnville, Tenn., July 2, 1853. His parents, Henry
and Hannah A. Shaw Trott, were members of old-time pioneer
families of that State who figured conspicuously in its history in early
days. Mr. Trott was reared and educated in his native State, studied
civil engineering, but for thirty years has been closely associated with
the interests of Arizona, especially with the development of Phoenix
and Maricopa County. Here he has followed his chosen work in
both private and official capacities with abundant success. For six
years he was surveyor of Maricopa County. He also served as
Marshal of Phoenix in 1886 and 1887, and as Water Commissioner
of the Salt River Valley sixteen years. All his life he has been a
Democrat, devoted to the best interests of the party, and during Terri-
torial days served as Chairman of the Democratc Central Committee.
He is a member of years standing in the I. O. O. F., of which

EUGENE SLIKER, son of a pioneer family in Cincinnati, Ohio, has
resided in Flagstaff since 1890. During this time he has been asso-
ciated with the Arizona
Lumber & Timber
Company, the oldest
manufacturing concern
in the state. At the
present time he is the
cashier and one of the
directors of that com-
pany. He has been ap-
pointed to various po-
sitions of trust by the
Republican party. As
Secretary of the Board
of Education of the
Northern Normal
School at Flagstaff, he
has done all in his pow-
er to assist in placing it

basis. Mr. Sliker was
married in 1906 to
Miss Frances Bury,
daughter of Mrs.
Helen Bury, who has
been prominent in
Phoenix affairs for
years, and was a pioneer teacher of that city. Mrs. Sliker,
thirty
then Miss Bury, was associated with the first president of the North-

1899.
Z. C. PRENTA, mayor of Safford, is one of the pioneers of Arizona,
having come here in 1884. He first lived in Cochise County four
years, and then removed to the Gila Valley, where he ranks as one
of the great cattlemen of the state. He was first interested in cattle
and ranching, then engaged in an independent business venture, and
later became associated with George A. Olney in establishing the Saf-
ford Ice and Creamery Company, which manufactures ice for the en-
tire Gila Valley. Mr. Prera was born in Italy in 1862, and came to
America with his father in 1870, landing in New Orleans. Having
lived there for a short time, he proceeded to Texas, where he remained
until he decided to make Arizona his home. On November 16, 1897,
Mr. Prena married Miss Martha Wanslee, daughter of Nathan and
Ruth Wanslee, of Safford, and since his marriage has acquired much
of his education, having applied himself diligently to rudimentary
f X A R I Z O X A 349
blanches until proficient to take up a business course, which he com-
pleted with much credit. Mr. Prena is now especially interested in
educational matters, and is one of those who opposed consolidation of
the two districts except for high school purposes. When it was pro-
posed to establish another room in the schools by private subscription,
Mayor Prena headed the list of contributors. He is also an active
member of the Chamber of Commerce, and has been a promoter of
some of the town's most worthy enterprises. He is a member of the
Blue Lodge Masons and Knights of Pythias. Politically he has al-
ways been associated with the Democratic party, and while an import-
ant factor in its councils in the county, has never held an office previ-
ously except that of supervisor for one term. Locally he has been
elected to the council, and is now serving his second term as mayor.
The Prena family consists of Eva, Ruth, Zeff, Jr., Eunice and Grant.
JESSE GREGG, rancher, wool grower and cattleman, is one of Ari-
zona's pioneers who has accomplished much for the good of the state,
and of Flagstaff and vicinity in particular. Mr. Gregg was born in
Illinois in 1861 of Scotch parentage. His father, James Gregg, died
at the siege of Vicksburg, but his mother is still living. Jesse Gregg
has been for the most part educated by reading and experience, but
the courage of his convictions and tenacity of purpose which have been
part of his Scotch heritage have enabled him to overcome obstacles,
and thereby accomplish much under conditions that \vould have daunt-
ed many another. Starting with little of this world's goods, he has,
by his perseverance, application to duty and good judgment, risen,
until he stands today pre-eminent among Arizona's noteworthy citi-
zens. His home near Flagstaff is a model ranch. The location is
ideal, the soil fertile, and the remarkable crops which it produces are
due, in large part, to the manner in which it is handled. Known all
over Arizona as an able business man, Mr. Gregg was elected to the
office of supervisor by the largest vote ever received by a candidate for
this office, and by the board was chosen chairman. During his term
of office he was recognized as one who fought for his convictions, re-
gardless of conditions. Public improvements, clean cut economy, and
methods such as would be used by a business man in his own affairs
w r ere the watchword of the administration, and the people were justly
grateful. Mr. Gregg is a broadminded man, who has long been a
power in the councils of his party, this able administration has made
him stronger, and he would poll many votes outside his party should
he seek any county office. One of the things accomplished by him is
the saving of the Bright Angel Trail for Coconino County, to which
it now belongs, to which end he cast aside politics and other considera-
tions in his efforts to succeed in his purpose. Mr. Gregg is a member
of the Masons and Odd Fellows. He married Miss Matilda M.
Huffman, and their family consists of Esther, Jim, Nellie and
Jesse, Jr.

It is not known whether or not there is any working of fate in the
fact that the youngest State of the Union has the youngest Secretary
of State, but it is true nevertheless. In addition to having the
youngest official holding a similar position of trust and confidence in
all the vast American population of 100,000,000, Arizona has, in
Sidney P. Osborn, its only native office-holder in the official family
under the big dome at the State House. In this good year 1913,
Mr. Osborn is just verging on the twenty-ninth winter of his life.
The chief pride of Arizonans in the Secretary of State does not,
however, lie in his youth, but in his efficiency in office, and as a
politician without a peer among the members of his party. He has
an old head on young shoulders.
But to return to the cold, hard facts of biography. Sidney P.
Osborn was born in a little, straggling village on the banks of the
Salt River no longer ago than May 17th, 1884. The straggling
village of his birth has thrown off the swaddling clothes of provincial-
ism and is fast growing into a metropolitan city, the finest in the
Southwest, the capital and chief city of this great State. Secretary
Osborn's parents were in every sense pioneers, as w T ere their parents
before them. They arrived in Prescott in 1864, in days when travel
was slow over the plains. The prairie schooner made sure progress,
however, for all its lack of celerity, and in the course of the passage
of the years the Osborn family arrived near where Phoenix now is,
the Secretary's grandfather settling in what is now the Osborn district
of Phoenix. The name of the district comes from the fact that the
large Osborn family lived there for many years.
Sidney Osborn took advantage of the school facilities of Phoenix
and was graduated from the High School in 1903, but in the mean-
time he had been given a taste of official life in the capacity of page
in the Territorial Legislative Assembly of Arizona of 1899. During
the years 1903, 1904 and 1905 he was Private Secretary to Honorable
J. F. Wilson, Delegate in Congress from Arizona.
When Congress passed the Enabling Act and the struggle for dele-
gates to the Constitutional Convention in Arizona opened, young
Osborn entered the field as a candidate of the Progressive Democracy.
At that time he was connected with one of the local newspapers, in one
of the tripartite capacities in which young men of ability are often
employed upon small newspapers. He was at once circulation mana-
ger, advertising solicitor and collector, as well as a part time reporter.
However, this training gave him further insight. It gave him an
ability to met his fellow men on an equal plane, so that when he ran
for the Constitutional Convention, in addition to his being a native
son, born in Phoenix, and one of the Osborn family, he stood upon
his general information of men and affairs as viewed through the eyes
of a life-long and progressive Democrat, and he was, therefore, elected
t^ the Convention, its voungest member.

3o2 WHO'S WHO
When the first State election came on, Osborn stood out in the
primary and general election as the successful candidate for the office
of Secretary of State, his record in the Constitutional Convention
having much to do with this. However, it is quite likely that the
resentment of his many friends to the slurs of youth fired at him by
the opposition had much to do with his excellent majority. Since
assuming office he has conducted the business in a most successful
manner, and established a record that future secretaries will find
hard to beat.
In 1912 Secretary Osborn found the ideal of his dreams in a
handsome young Australian woman, Miss Marjorie Grant, and in
September of that year the Secretary quietly journeyed to Los Angeles,
where the young lady lived, and there they were quietly married.
Returning to Phoenix, they set up housekeeping. Both the Secretarv
and his charming wife are popular members of society in the Capital
City. Both number their friends by their acquaintances, and both
can look forward to long and useful careers in the political and social
circles of the great S"ate of Arizona.
JOHN C. CALLAGHAN, first state auditor of Arizona, was born at
Gallitzin, Pennsylvania, July 9, 1869. He is the son of James and
Mary Sloan Callaghan. His father is now superintendent of the
South Fork Coal Mining Company of South Fork, Pa. Mr. Calla-
ghan began work in the coal mines at the age of eleven years, mean-
while attending night school. He returned to school after a few
years, and later entered the employ of the Webster Coal & Coke Com-
pany, at Ehrenfeld, Pa., as bookkeeper in the general store of that
company, later becoming assistant manager. In August, 1897, he re-
signed, going to Denver, Colorado, and in December, 1898, came to
Clifton, Arizona, where he took a position in the store office of the
Arizona Copper Company. Resigning this position in July, 1899, he
removed to Bisbee, took charge of the credit department of the Copper
Queen store, w r hich position he resigned January 1, 1902, to engage in
a business partnership. During the administration of Sheriff A. V.
Lewis at Tombstone in 1903 and 1904 he was under sheriff, and in
1905 returned to Bisbee to engage in business, of which he disposed in
June, 1908, and was that year the Democratic nominee for County
Treasurer, but, w r ith other Democrats, met defeat. He was nominated
State Auditor in the primary campaign of 1911, carrying even- county
except one, and w^as elected to that office December 12th of that year.
He is ex-Officio State Bank Comptroller, President of the State Board
of Equalization, and a member of each, the State Board of Control,
State Board of Commissioners of Paroled Prisoners, State Loan Com-
mission, and the Land Board of Arizona, the performance of the
duties of w r hich various positions, added to his duties as State Auditor,

constitute him a very busy official. During Mr. Callaghan's service
with the large mining companies of the Southwest he has made a
reputation not only for efficiency, but for executive ability. His influ-
ence was one of the factors in bringing Cochise safely into the Demo-
cratic column and making it the banner county in the election of
1912. From boyhood he has been a close and persistent student of
political economy, is one of the best informed men in the state on the
complex question of taxation, and is today considered one of the most
able members of Arizona's progressive Democracy. He was a pio-
neer advocate in Arizona of the Initiative and the Referendum, as
early as 1905 declaring for these in the press, together with other pro-
posed reforms, many of which were later incorporated in the Consti-
tution of Arizona, and in this connection it may be said that on sub-
jects in which he takes a special interest, he wields a facile pen. He is
possessed of foresight of excellent clarity, and is ever in the forefront
in the advocacy of progressive ideas, taking care, however, to espouse
only those economic ideas which are of a substantial and enduring
character, and is not handicapped by the possession of idiosyncrasies.
Of a quiet, retiring disposition, his official acts are not planned or
timed to produce self-advertisement, nor are they intended to be
spectacular in effect ; neither are they tempered with political expedi-
ency. He brings to his office that measure of balance, poise and dig-
nity which commands respect, and which a constituency is pleased to
observe in a state official. Mr. Callaghan is an Elk, and a Past Ex-
alted Ruler of Bisbee Lodge No. 671.
GEORGE PURDY BULLARD, first State Attorney General of Arizona,
and one of the ablest attorneys of the State, is also one of the most
energetic, and has, since assuming the duties of the Attorney Gen-
eral's office, accomplished much in the way of generally beneficial
legislation, as his conscientious efforts have resulted in the drafting
of many statutes and the correction of many others. Those who
watched his w T ork as District Attorney of Maricopa County expected
much of the State's first Attorney General, and they have not been
disappointed, as the statutes which he has drafted are sane, fair, and
so drawn as to stand the most rigid tests. Mr. Bullard is a close
associate of Mr. Cunniff, President of the Senate, and, like him,
seems to thrive on hard work. Arizona can claim in her legal pro-
fession many bright minds and earnest workers, but none who exceed
in ability or earnestness the present Attorney General. In knowledge
and experience, too, he is exceptional, all of w T hich will be more thor-'
oughly demonstrated as time goes on and the State of Arizona reaps
the benefits of his zeal. Air. Bullard is also an ardent autoist,
President of the State Automobile Association, and one of the most
enthusiastic good roads boosters in the State. He believes that there

is more money in tourists than in alfalfa, and that a highway system
traversing the State should be built as an attraction to tourists. Mr.
Bullard organized the Maricopa County Automobile Club about
rive years ago, and it was he who conceived the idea of an annual race
from Los Angeles to Phoenix, induced the "Republican" to offer a
cup as a trophy, and has so successfully promoted the event for several
years. He is widely known as "The Father of the Phoenix Race."
Mr. Bullard w r as born in Portland, Oregon, April 14, 1869, and is
the son of L. J. and Minnie Purdy Bullard. When quite young
he went to San Francisco, where he studied law, and when twenty-one
was admitted to the bar in California, and has since been constantly
engaged in the practice of his profession. From 1894 to 1899 he
practiced in San Francisco, and since the latter year in Phoenix, and
for five years w r as District Attorney of Maricopa County. He is a
member of the Board of Trade, for three years was director of the
Country Club, is Vice President of the State Good Roads Association
and honorary member of the Lincoln Memorial Association. Mr.
Bullard was married in 1901 to Miss Kate C. Brockway and their
residence at 1131 North Central Avenue is one of the finest in
Phoenix.
RICHARD E. SLOAX w r as born in Preble County, Ohio, June 22,
1857. He is the son of Dr. Richard and Mary Caldwell Sloan.
Having completed his preliminary 7 education, he entered Monmouth
College, from which he was graduated in 1877 with an A. B. degree,
and two years later with an A. M. degree. He then taught school
for one year and took up the study of law with Mr. James, an attor-
ney of Hamilton, Ohio, later attending the Cincinnati Law School,
from which he took the degree LL. B. in 1884. In the meantime,
however, he had gone to Colorado where he was employed in various
capacities until 1882. Returning to the West after his graduation
from Law School, he located in Phoenix and engaged in practice
for about two years, when he removed to Florence, and in the au-
tumn of 1886 was elected District Attorney of Pinal County. In the
autumn of 1888 he was honored by being chosen to the Council of the
Fifteenth General Assembly and during his term served as Chairman
of the Judiciary Committee and member of several others. Judge
Sloan was also a member of the Code Commission in 1901. The
next year President Harrison appointed him Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court, and in this capacity Judge Sloan made an excellent
record, but with change of administration he resumed his private prac-
tice, choosing Prescott as his field, and there his practice constantly
increased in importance. In July, 1897, however, he was again ap-
pointed Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, and served until
1909, when he was appointed Territorial Governor, in which office
he continued until the admission of the state. Appointed United States

District Judge for Arizona in 1912, he held the office by recess com-
mission from August, 1912, to March 4th, 1913. He is now a mem-
ber of the firm of Sloan, Seabury & Westervelt. In November, 1887,
he married Miss Mary Brown, of Hamilton, Ohio. Mrs. Sloan is a
woman of charming personality and possesses qualities which make
her socially an addition to the best circles. Judge Sloan has two
children, Miss Eleanor B., a graduate of Vassar College, and Mary
Caldwell, aged twelve.
L. C. HUGHES, ex-Governor of Arizona, was born May 15, 1842,
at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and a few months thereafter his
parents removed to Pittsburgh. At two years of age he was left an
orphan, and was placed in a Presbyterian orphanage, when he re-
mained until ten years of age, and was then indentured with a Calvin-
istic farmer family, where he was trained to hard work the three
months yearly district school laying a foundation upon w r hich to build
for future achievements. At the opening of the Civil War he was
working his way through an academy in a country village. This
was when slavery agitation was at white heat. The orphan boy had
read Uncle Tom's Cabin, and taking part in the school debates, was
ardent for the freedom of black boys and girls. The call to arms to
save the Union found him recruiting a company from among the
country boys, and after he had been twice refused enlistment on
account of size, finally succeeded in being accepted in Company A,
101st Pennsylvania Volunteers, served two years in camp, field and
hospitals, and was discharged on account of general disability. A
year thereafter he re-enlisted and was Sergeant for a one hundred
days' campaign in Knapp's Pittsbuig battery, to aid in protecting
Washington City. During his army service the camp was his school
and he utilized his spare hours in study. When first discharged he
entered a government machine shop and rapidly acquired the trade,
the shop men all helping the "little boy in blue," as he was called.
When he had worked but two years he was accepted as a journeyman,
joined Machinists and Blacksmiths' Union No. 2 of Pittsburgh, and
there is where he began to develop his altruistic spirit. The cause
of freedom for the black man and the Union of States sett'ed, the
cause of labor was rising above the horizon. Returning soldiers
filled the shops and all other avenues of employment, and labor saving
machinery had made great strides during the war; an estrangement
between capital and labor was a new issue, and rumblings of discon-
tent were heard among the laboring masses everywhere. Many
remedies were suggested, co-operative societies, building and loan asso-
ciations, reduction of the hours of labor, with the hope of reducing
the supply and increasing the demand for labor. In this new field
young Hughes w r as a willing, active and aggressive spirit. Pitts-
burgh, a center of iron and glass manufacturing, was ripe for agita-
tion, organization and labor reform at the close of the war. Here

was a new field, calling for self-sacrificing workers, which found in
him aggressive enthusiasm. The eight hour movement was crystal-
ized into practical form in 1866, and, joining with the leaders, W.
O'Neil of Boston and Jonathan Fincher of Philadelphia, he secured a
petition of several thousand working men of Pittsburgh, addressed to
Congress, for a law fixing eight hours for all government work.
This was sent to Senator Henry Wilson of Massachusetts, who
fathered and passed the bill, the first eight hour law in the United
States. During the same year he agitated and aided in organizing
in South Pittsburgh, the first co-operative store on the Rochdale plan
west of the Allegheny mountains. While taking a course in Mead-
ville Theological School, he counseled Father Upchurch in organizing
the A. O. of U. W., and became a member of Jefferson Lodge No. 1,
the first in the United States. The order had as one of its purposes
the federation of all trades and labor unions, but it soon drifted into
a fraternal insurance organization. In 1868 he delivered an address
on "Trades Unions, Their Cause, Influence and Present Necessity,"
before the International Convention of Machinists and Blacksmiths'
Union of America and Great Britain, at Cleveland, Ohio, predicting
a destructive conflict between the Pennsylvania Railroad and labor.
That conflict climaxed, inside of five years, in the destruction of
millions of property in Pittsburgh and other points on its railroad sys-
tem. Mr. Hughes studied law in Meadville, overtasked himself in
his studies and reform activity, and wrecked his health, which resulted
in his seeking rest and absence from the fretting and agitating multi-
tude, and 1871 found him in Tucson, Arizona, the land of the fierce
Apaches, desert and sunshine, where he entered upon the practice of
his chosen profession. Soon after he was appointed Probate Judge
and ex-Officio County Superintendent of Schools ; was District
Attorney tw y o terms ; was Attorney General ; United States Court
Commissioner; Member of Board of World's Fair Commission at
Chicago for Arizona, and delegate to the Democratic National Con-
ventions in 1884 and 1892. In 1878 he established the Arizona
Star, the first daily paper in Arizona, of which he was editor and
publisher for thirty years. When the Arizona Press Association
was organized in 1892 Mr. Hughes was elected its first President.
The birth of the Star was the date of the State building era of Ari-
zona, and to this end the Star declared the settlement of the Apache
problem was the first consideration. The government had adopted
the Indian reservation policy, herding and feeding and protecting
thousands of Apache murderers, who sallied forth from their cities of
refuge to commit depredations on the white settlers, then returned
with the plunder and scalps of their victims as trophies of these raids.
The Star initiated and declared for the policy of removal of the crim-
inal element of the Apaches to Florida, land of swamps, lakes, forests,
rain and storms new to the merciless savage where the physical
conditions were in striking contrast to the desert's treeless, mountain-
I X A R I Z O X A 361
ous and arid region, and for years the Star stood alone in its advocacy
of this policy. Mr. Hughes secured the agency of the Associated
Press, and with every fresh Apache outbreak the news was flashed to
the press, with public resolutions demanding their removal, thus
securing comment of the press and creating wide-spread public opinion
of the entire country. At the Democratic National Convention of
1884, he secured the adoption of a plank pledging the party to the
removal policy. Cleveland was elected and Mr. Hughes, with
petitions from all Arizona settlements, visited him and secured his
pledge for the removal policy. The President then commissioned
General Miles to make good his promise, and in less than six months
after his arrival in Arizona General Miles had all the criminal
Apaches captured and removed to Florida. This was the first im-
portant step for Arizona State builders. On the first anniversary of
the removal of the Apache, the citizens of Arizona celebrated the
event at Tucson by presenting a sword to General Miles, and in
recognition of their public service, the Society of Arizona Pioneers
elected him and L. C. Hughes honorary life members of the society.
This anniversary, while it memorialized the end of Indian war, was
the date of a still more important event, for it was here and then that
General Miles made an address before the Arizona Pioneer Society
declaring it was the duty of the Federal Government to reclaim its
arid region to agriculture. This was the first public utterance on
this question, and with the permission of the General, Mr. Hughes
called the attention of the editor of the North American Review to
the address, asked to have it published, and it appeared in the issue of
March, 1890, under the title, "Our Unwatered Empire." This
w y as the first publication on the subject of government reclamation in
the United States, so declared by Senator Newlands in Congress
twelve years thereafter, upon the eve of the passage of National Irri-
gation Law. This w T as the second important step achieved by Ari-
zona State builders. After the removal of the Apaches, the titles to
vast areas of land in Arizona, claimed under Spanish and Mexican
land grants, was a menace to the settlement of the Territory. Mr.
Hughes had already secured the introduction of a bill in Congress,
creating a Federal land court, its purpose being the determining of
these titles. Single handed for several years he made the issue for
the creation of this court, while the entire legal fraternity, the press
(excepting the Star), together with the Arizona delegate in Congress,
opposed the measure ; but the court was created, organized and in less
than ten years returned to the government over 12,000,000 acres in
Arizona alone, claimed under Spanish and Mexican titles. This
land embraces the finest agricultural districts of every valley of South-
ern Arizona. This was the third most important step of the State
builders. The building of homes, promoting permanent settlement
throughout Arizona, found practical and successful encouragement in
the Star advocacy of establishing Building and Loan Associations, the
362 \V H O ' S WHO
first of which was organized in Tucson in 1887. Mr. Hughes made
a successful ten years' contest against public gambling, and had a hill
/or its suppression passed through the lower house of Congress. Its
enactment was urged by President Roosevelt and recommended for
passage by the Senate Committee on Territories. But he had action
suspended on the bill for sixty days to give the Legislatures of Arizona
and New Mexico an opportunity to enact a Territorial law, which
they did, thus banishing public gambling from those Territories.
This was the fourth conquest for the State builders. The Star waged
war against the saloon traffic and advocated woman suffrage for
thirty years as an aid in this and kindred reforms in building the State.
It was on the firing line of many political reforms, including the initia-
tive, referendum and recall, primary elections, etc., and always against
capital punishment. It urged with vigor the establishment of
schools, churches, fraternal societies, providing firm foundation for
community life, and was emphatic for the reading of the Bible in the
public schools and other public educational institutions, as well as the
enactment of laws requiring the teaching of the Spanish language in
the public schools as an important link of union with the Spanish-
American Republics and opening a wide field of professional and com-
mercial business for Spanish-speaking Americans. Mr. Hughes was
governor of the Territory from April 1st, 1893, to April 1st, 1896.
His administration was signalized by economy and retrenchment in
the public service, by eliminating all unnecessary employes. When
he came into office the Territorial treasury was facing a deficit of
more than $50,000. In 1893 the deficit was reduced to less than
$3,300; in 1894 there was nearly $6,000 in the treasury, and at the
close of 1895 the Territorial indebtedness had been reduced $50,-
485.76 the first decrease in the indebtedness for fifteen years. And
this result with no increase of taxation. Upon his recommendation
a non-partisan Board of Control was created, composed of the Gov-
ernor, the Auditor and a citizen member of the opposite political
party, none but the citizen member receiving compensation for ser-
vices. This law abolished the Boards of Commissioners of Prison,
Insane Asylum, Reform School and Railroad making a saving of
more than $25,000 in salaries and mileage, as the records show. The
cost per capita for administering the Territorial Prison and Insane
Asylum was reduced 23 per cent, and reduction in maintenance was
noticeable in all institutions. The annual cost of maintaining the
Territorial administration under Governor Hughes was less than
$200,000, and for the three years it did not reach a total of $600,000,
notwithstanding that, during those three years, there were erected the
Normal School buildings at Flagstaff and Tempe, University dormi-
tory at Tucson, and over $30,000 expended in improvements on the
Insane Asylum and Prison buildings more public buildings erected
than under any previous administration. The parole law was en-
acted and put into successful operation by him; and of the many pris-
[ X ,\ R I Z O X A 363
oners who enjoyed its benefits, but one violated his parole. Convicts
whenever paroled were required to work. Governor Hughes' maxim
was that savages could not be civilized, nor criminals reformed, with-
out labor. His prison policy aided much in the large reduction re-
ferred to in prison maintenance. The Governor's three annual reports
to the Secretary of the Interior and Congress proved of great public
value, as they contained much data on climate and wealth resources
of the Territory, the Indians and their needs, and moral and pro-
gressive character and interests of its diversified population. The
information furnished therein was the subject of much favorable
comment in the press of the country. There were 5,000 copies of the
1893 and 1894 reports published, and so great was the demand for
these that of the report of 1895, containing 119 pages, 17,500 copies
were issued by the government and distributed. It scarcely need be
added that these proved a valuable advertising medium for the Terri-
tory. The Federal law calling for these reports requires the Gov-
ernor to give the general conditions and make recommendations as to
Congressional legislation for the Territory, which opened a wide
field that was taken advantage of by the Governor, the press com-
ment being that more information had been published in these reports,
and recommendations which were crystalized into law, than by all the
governors who had preceded him. Recommendations were made for
appropriation for irrigation of lands of the Indian reservations; set-
ting apart for allotment lands for Indians wishing to take them in sev-
eralty, especially the Papago, Maricopa, Pima and the Yuma tribes;
increasing Indian industrial schools, educating and training Arizona
Indian children in the Territory, for the conservation of their health
and to enable them to learn local industrial pursuits ; transferring
trial of Indians from Territorial to United States courts, and secur-
ing appropriations to meet the expenses of such trials had, and jail
and penitentiary costs of Indian convicts; for creating forest reserva-
tions at headwaters of Arizona streams and water supply ; and for
setting apart the "Petrified Forest" as a national park. The Gov-
ernor also urged and finally secured the passage of a Congressional
act authorizing the Territory to lease school lands, and placing the
proceeds thereof in the public school funds. This law has been and
is a source of large and increasing revenue to the schools of the State.
He also encouraged the location of a National School of Science near
the Grand Canyon, that cluster of natural phenomena. He urged
many needed reforms, especially the suppression of the liquor traffic,
which was shown to be the greatest bane to the Indians the initial
cause of our Apache wars, the cause of over 65 per cent of Territorial
taxation, as well as the many other accompanying evils. He urged
upon Congress its duty to Arizona to suppress this traffic. All of
these recommendations went before the country, commended or con-
demned by the press, thus creating public opinion, mostly favoring
these appeals. During his term as Chancellor of the University that
364 WHO'S WHO
institution rapidly increased its number of students, especially from
residents throughout the Territory. An important factor in that
growth was the aiding of those lacking the financial resources for
securing the benefits of the University, by employing them in various
departments as assistants, and allowing compensation for their ser-
vices. The average number of these assistants is twenty-five, most
of whom rank well as students and graduates. This is but one of
the various improved conditions inaugurated during this period. In
1868 Mr. Hughes married Josephine Brawley, of Meadville, Penn-
sylvania, daughter of John R. Brawley, a western Pennsylvania
farmer of large political connections and influence. In all oi his
labors, struggles and achievements, Mrs. Hughes entered into the
fullest partnership, and proved equal to every emergency developing
the characteristics and qualities of a noble heroine. They have two
living children a daughter, Mrs. Gertrude Woodward, and State
Senator John T. Hughes, who reflect honor upon their parents. It is
but just that Governor Hughes and family are titled "Arizona's State
Builders," to which they have given more than forty years of service,
facing through it all the most strenuous opposition of evil forces,
which they met with that fearlessness born of the secret powers
within. Now, at the sunset of life, they realize that their faithful
service has already borne much fruit, which will yield a thou^and-
fold to the citizenship yet unborn of the (to be) great, the good, the
grand Commonwealth of Arizona, out of which will issue not only
millions of material wealth, but a people whose characters will be
lustrous as statesmen, poets, philosophers, prophets and altruists in the
broadest sense of the terms.
LEWIS T. CARPENTER, Assistant Attorney General of the State of
Arizona, is a native of Tennessee, although he was raised in the
great State of Texas, and is, in fact, a Texan. He received his
academic education at Trinity University and studied law in the
University of Texas; was admitted to the bar at Corsicana, Texas,
at the age of twenty-two and was, during the same year, elected to
the office of County Attorney of that county. At the close of his
term of office he removed to Dallas, Texas, and engaged in the prac-
tice of law there until the time of his removal to Arizona. Mr. Car-
penter's arrival in Arizona and his entrance into Arizona politics
were identical as at the time he arrived in the city of Phoenix with
his family from Texas, the campaign for statehood was on and with-
in two or three days after the date of his arrival he was on the
stump for the Democratic ticket and continued to work faithfully
until the close of the campaign ; the Democrats carried the state and
Mr. Carpenter was accredited as one of those who had been of
great assistance in bringing about this result. He was soon after-
wards appointed Assistant Attorney General, which position he has

held since the entrance of Arizona as a state. He is a member of
the firm of Bullard <$: Carpenter, one of the leading firms of the
state. Mr. Carpenter's family consists of his wife and three chil-
dren. He is connected with some of the prominent financial insti-
tutions of the state and believes in boosting; Arizona at all times and
has great faith in its future from a political and material standpoint.
He has, in the office of the Attorney General, achieved an enviable
reputation as a lawyer and is one of the most popular members of
the Arizona bar.
JOHX T. HUGHES, Senator from Pima County, was born in
Tucson in 1874, and is the son of L. C. and Josephine B. Hughes,
two pioneer State builders. At the age of six, with his sister Ger-
trude, he was sent to Snell's School, Oakland, California, and two
years afterward was entered in Beck's Family School for Boys, a
Moravian institution, Lititz, Pennsylvania, where he remained four
years. He next attended Freehold Academy in New Jersey, from
which he was graduated, and then took up the study of law in the
University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia. After admission to prac-
tice he went to Chicago and engaged in his profession for two years,
then was urged to come to Tucson and take a course in newspaper and
journalistic experience, which he did with the "Star," in which he
was financially interested. His first taste of politcal life was as Page
of the First Constitutional Convention in 1891. He was then pri-
vate secretary to his father, during part of his administration as Terri-
torial Governor, and later Superintendent of Schools for Pima
County. In 1894, with his mother, Territorial President of the
Suffrage forces in Arizona, and a warm personal friend of Aunt Susan
B. Anthony, he attended the National Suffrage Convention at Wash-
ington, D. C. Miss Anthony, observing John enter the hall with his
mother, captured and took him to the platform and introduced him to
the vast audience as the son of Governor and Mrs. L. C. Hughes, life
champions of Equal Rights, and John a native son of Arizona, w r hom
she then dedicated the "Suffrage Knight of Arizona," predicting his
sterling loyalty to the faith of father and mother. Senator Hughes
has well fulfilled this prediction in his advocacy on the platform, in
the press and all public places. He introduced the resolution in the
First State Senate proposing a constitutional amendment enfranchising
Arizona's womanhood. The issue then came before the people
through the initiative, which resulted in the adoption of the Consti-
tutional Amendment by a large majority, his home county, the storm
center of the fight, having voted two to one for the amendment.
Politically Mr. Hughes is a Democrat and entered political life in
western Pennsylvania in Bryan's first campaign, during which he or-
ganized Democratic clubs and made over one hundred speeches. He
is a member of the Pima County Central Committee, and of the State

WHO S WHO
Central and Executive Committees. At the first State election he
was elected Senator from Pima Count}', in which capacity he wielded
a marked influence. He has given much study to governmental
affairs, and is well acquainted with public men and measures. Sen-
ator Hughes has served as Chairman of the Committee on Suffrage
and Elections, and Printing and Clerks; and as member of the Ju-
diciary, Appropriations, Constitutional Amendments and Municipal
Corporations committees. During the first and second sessions he
introduced and put through many bills, all of which are conceded to
be of advantage to the State, one of which is the State Weights and
Measures ordinance, which he urged as a just and equitable measure,
to prevent the short weighing of goods and merchandise. Among
others of importance was a resolution ratifying the income tax amend-
ment to the Constitution of the United States, and Arizona was the
twenty-ninth State to ratify the amendment. Also the following
r .
Acts: Providing for the taxation of gifts, legacies and inheritances;
an obligatory indeterminate sentence law, with parole principle ; pro-
viding for the publicity of campaign expenses before and after the
primary and election ; providing for an endowment of three hundred
thousand acres of land for the College of Agriculture and the School
of Mines for the University of Arizona; a comprehensive primary
election law; providing severe penalties for tampering with switch
lights on railroads. This much, and more, stands to his credit for
the first session. During the next session he introduced and had
passed, among other important laws: An act providing for the con-
struction and maintenance of municipal slaughter houses in cities of
three thousand or more population, where all animals are to be in-
spected before killing, and slaughter houses to be maintained under
sanitary conditions; an act permitting the sale of lands to the Car-
negie Desert Laboratory ; an act authorizing the removal of the State
Industrial School from Benson to the Fort Grant Military Reserva-
tion ; an act authorizing incorporated cities to issue bonds for the
purpose of constructing sanitary sewers ; an act to provide punish-
ment for contempt of court; an act relating to the reorganization of
the Arizona Pioneers' Home; an appropriation for the benefit of the
Arizona Historical Society; a bill providing for an appropriation of
$150,000 for an agricultural building for the University of Arizona,
and appropriations for agricultural education and experimental work.
These items were placed in the general appropriation bill and passed.
Acts authorizing the working of convicts on public roads, highways and
bridges, and a bill authorizing the purchase of a prison farm. He also
introduced the following bills, which were passed by the Senate, but
defeated in the House: Providing that all State, County and City
printing should be done within the State ; providing for the working
eight hours a day for the prisoners in County and City jails on the
roads, streets and parks; making it a felony to practice third degree
on persons charged with crime; permitting the probating of wills dur-

ing the lifetime of the testator; submitting to a vote of the people an
amendment to the present miners' lien law; prohibiting the sale of
cigarettes, cigars and tobacco to minors under eighteen years of age ;
creating the office of Public Defender in the various counties of the
State; creating Bureau of Legislative Research. He also introduced
a joint memorial to Congress urging the granting of independence to
the Philippines, and a resolution for a constitutional amendment abol-
ishing capital punishment. It will be observed from the character of
the foregoing bills, that Senator Hughes works entirely on con-
structive and reformatory lines. He is a citizen of much civic pride;
has taken an active interest in the educational, moral and material
welfare for many years of the Territory of Arizona, and now of the
Commonwealth. His pride as a native son of Arizona excites his
highest ambition for the present and future of his State. He believes
that its future bids fair to outstrip all the States of the Union, in
material prosperity and in the high and progressive character of its
citizenship. As a mark of appreciation of his public service, he was
unanimously elected honorary member of the Society of Arizona Pi-
oneers, being the first native-born citizen thus honored.
ALBINUS A. WORSLEY, Senator from Pima County, and attorney-
at-law, is known as the "Champion of Labor and Labor Legislation,"
by the workingmen of Arizona, of whom he has always been a friend.
When one of the unions anywhere in the State becomes involved in a
law suit, Colonel Worsley is almost invariably called into consulta-
tion. He has been uniformly successful in the practice of his pro-
fession, and especially in cases where he represented labor, his policy
being never to take a case into court if the grounds do not justify such
action. There is not a man in the State who has more friends than
Senator Worsley among the men forming the industrial army, whose
esteem he has completely won. Senator Worsley was born in Racine
County, Wisconsin, June 24, 1869. He is the son of Thomas G.
Worsley, a direct descendant of Oliver Cromwell, who came from
Lancashire, England, at the age of sixteen, and became a pioneer
farmer of Wisconsin. Maria Shields, his mother, came from Queens
County, Ireland, at the age of seven years. Senator Worsley was
graduated from the Northern Indiana Law School in 1900, and was
admitted to the bar of that State the same year. The next year he
took a post-graduate course in the Chicago College of Law, was
admitted to the bar in Illinois, and the following year went to
Nebraska, was admitted to practice and followed his profession there
until his coming to Arizona in 1904. He located in Tucson, which
has since been his home. At the age of twenty-four Mr. Worsley
was candidate on the Labor and Populist ticket for Governor of Wis-
consin, while at the early age of nineteen he made a tour through the
eastern States for the Chicago Single Tax Club, and even at that time
370
WHO S W H O
was widely known as an orator. He helped organize the first Direct
Legislation League in the United States, in St. Louis, in 1891.', and
has ever since been one of its national organizers. At various times he
has campaigned the States of Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, South Dakota
and Nebraska, for such men as "Golden Rule" Jones, Pettigrew and
Governor Altgeld, when the latter made his successful run for that
office in Illinois. Mr. Worsley is author of "Corporation Rates in
the National Corn Crib," which was published in 1896, and "The
First Step in the National Progress, or Direct Legislation," which
was published in 1899. Since boyhood Senator Worsley has been an
Albinus A. Worsley
advocate of the cause of labor, and to it he devotes particular effort in
the Senate. He is Chairman of the Labor Commitee, and member
of the Code, Finance, Judiciary, Public Lands, Rules and Style,
Revision and Compilation Committees. In 1904 he was married to
Miss Alice J. Major, also a native of Wisconsin. They have three
children, Henry George Worsley, Paul Robert and Dorcas Maria.
Mrs. Worsley comes from a family of scholars and educators. For
several years prior to her marriage she was one of the principal
teachers of the Northern Indiana Normal School, at Valparaiso, the
largest school of its kind in the United States.

HARRY JOHNSON, Representative from Maricopa Count}', was
born in Atlanta, Georgia, October 3, 1882, and spent most of his
boyhood days on a plantation in North Georgia. He was partially
educated in Tennessee, and taught school for one year in Alabama.
He then entered Cumberland University, and while a student there
took an active part in athletics and was member of both the football
and baseball teams. He was also President of the Law Society, as
high an honor as a student can attain to in the Law School, and
member of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity. Having been graduated
from the University he took the examination and was admitted to
practice before the Supreme Court of Tennessee. He then established
a practice in Chattanooga, w T here he remained until his coming t

Arizona, six years ago. Since his arrival in this State, in addition to
the practice of his profession, he has been actively interested in politics
and has made many friends, as shown by the returns when he was a
candidate for the Legislature. At the primary his name w T as last in
alphabetical order in a list of nine, and he advanced from ninth to
second place. Mr. Johnson has the distinction of having made the
first speech on the floor of the House in the First State Legislature,
when, at the fall of the gavel, he secured the floor and placed in nom-
ination for temporary speaker Andrew R. Lynch of Graham County.
In the first session of the Legislature Mr. Johnson introduced a bill
that exempts the producer of anything in Arizona from paying a
license for the sale thereof in the State, which is now a law. In the
special session Mr. Johnson served as Chairman of the Committee on
Constitutional Amendments and Referendum, and as member of the
following committees: Judiciary, Corporation, Militia and Public
Defense, and Code Revision.
HARTWELL HENDERSON LINNEY, Speaker of the House in the
Special Session of the First State Legislature, is a native of Danville,
Ky. He was graduated in 1902 from Centre College, Danville, and
later from the Law Department of the Central University of Ken-
tucky, was admitted to the bar in that state and has also been admit-
ted to practice before the Supreme Court of Arizona. Mr. Linney is
one of the ablest of the younger lawyers of the state and is engaged
in general practice at Prescott. His acquaintance and practice
throughout the state are both extensive, he has a strong, attractive
personality and keen legal ability, and has established a splendid
reputation for uprightness and integrity. He is vice president of the
Northern Arizona Bar Association, is a progressive Democrat, be-
lieving in good laws and good government, and in purity of politics.
He is a strong advocate of the Good Roads Movement and a willing
aid to all deserving plans for the upbuilding of the state or the ad-
vertising of its resources and climatic conditions among the resi-
dents of other states. He has, in fact, thoroughly identified himself
with the people of Arizona, particularly with those of his own
county, and the people of Yavapai showed their confidence in him
and their high regard for him by their vote when he was candidate
for representative to the First State Legislature. Mr. Linney is an
enthusiastic worker in the Prescott Chamber of Commerce, a mem-
ber of the Yavapai Club and of the Sigma Chi fraternity. He
brought to the legislature a valuable experience, excellent education
and exceptional energy, and in the first session served on some of the
most important committees, while as Speaker he has amply proven
his merit. Mr. Linney was married in August, 1911, to Miss Ethel
Wood, of Greenville, 111., a graduate of the University of Illinois
and a charming young woman who has become socially popular in
Prescott and vicinity.

Louis H. CHALMERS, senior member of the firm _of Chalmers &
Kent, one of the strongest in the foremost ranks of the legal profession
in Arizona, is a descendant of a family of Scotch origin, who were
among the early settlers of Virginia and South Carolina, three genera-
tions preceeding Mr. Chalmers having been born in South Carolina.
His grandfather early removed to Ohio, and was one of the pioneer
merchants of Xenia until the Civil War, when he enlisted as Lieu-
tenant of the Seventy-fifth Ohio Volunteer Infantry. He died in
Camp Chase in 1861. In the same year Louis H. Chalmers was
born, in Jamestown, Ohio, of which town his mother was also a
native. When Louis was but four years old his mother removed to
Iowa, and he was educated in the public schools of that State, with
the exception of the High School course, which he took in Jamestown,
Ohio. For several years he was editor of a paper in Ohio, during
which time he took up the study of law. In the fall of 1883 he
entered the Cincinnati Law School as a senior, and was graduated
LL. B. the next year. He immediately came west to practice his
profession, and located in Phoenix, where he has since been success-
fully engaged, and in addition to his private practice he has served as
attorney for many of the important concerns of that section. He has
also served as City Attorney several terms, and was one of Maricopa
County's representatives in the 16th Legislature. During this
session he was chairman of the Judiciary Committee and member of
other important ones. Mr. Chalmers is a Democrat, an interested
worker for his party, and has been Secretary of the County Central
Committee. Socially, as professionally, he has many friends. The
establishment of the firm of Chalmers & Kent has meant the associa-
tion of two of the State's keenest attorneys, both of whom have
attained distinction at the bar and in official life, men of special apti-
tude for their chosen profession. Mr. Chalmers was married in
Phoenix to Miss Laura E. Coates, a native of Iowa, and graduate of
a Los Angeles Academy.
EDWARD KENT, Chief Justice of the last Territorial Supreme Court,
was born in Lynn, Mass., August 8, 1862. His father, Edward Kent,
who was elected Governor of Maine in 1868, was mentioned in the
famous political song written about that time, "Have You Heard the
News from Maine?" His mother was formerly Miss Abby Rock-
wood. Judge Kent was a student at Harvard, from which he was
graduated in 1883 with an A. B. degree, and studied law at Columbia
University, from which he was graduated LL. B. in 1887. In the
latter year he was admitted to the Bar in the State of New York, and
immediately engaged in the practice of his profession in New York
City. In 1893 he became a member of the law firm of Butler, Still-
man & Hubbard, of New York City, with whom he was associated
until 1896. In 1897 he removed to Denver, where he lived for five

years. In 1900 he was candidate on the Republican ticket for mem-
ber of the House of Representatives of Colorado, and served as As-
sistant U. S. District Attorney of Colorado during 1901 and 1902.
Judge Kent came to Arizona in 1902, the same year was chosen Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court of the Territory, and served until Ari-
zona became a State. He is now a member of the firm of Kent &
Chalmers, of Phoenix, well known attorneys. On September 14,
1893, Judge Kent was married to Miss Edith Chadwick, of Balti-
more, Maryland.
GEORGE J. STOXEMAX, of the firm of Stoneman & Ling, of Phoe-
nix, was born at Petersburg, Virginia, May 4, 1868. His early life,
however, was spent in California, where the family had removed, and
there he attended the public schools. He then attended the University
of Michigan and was graduated from the Law Department in 1889.
His first practice was conducted in Seattle, Washington, where he re-
mained several years, during two of which he served as City Clerk.
In 1894 he went to Honolulu, practiced a year there, and returning to
the United States, came to Arizona, located in Globe and at once be-
came closely identified with the interests of this section. His practice
from the beginning was successful, he soon became legal representa-
tive of two of the large mining companies of that district, interested in
mining on his own account and prominent in political affairs. He was
appointed to fill an unexpired term as District Attorney, and was
elected to the same office at the election in November, 1900, on the
Democratic ticket. While acting in this capacity he demonstrated
his ability in a legal way and his aptitude for the administration of
public affairs. He also served as Territorial Railway Commissioner
and member of the Board of Law Examiners. Mr. Stoneman is the
son of General George Stoneman, a man of exceptional attainments,
undisputed honor and of high standing in the army. He received his
military education at West Point and attained the rank of General
during the Civil War, in which he fought in the cause of the Union.
He was later in life placed on the retired list. In politics General
Stoneman was equally distinguished, having been elected Governor of
California in 1883, and his administration was a substantial evidence
of his superior and well-directed judgment. He died in New York
in 1894, having lived there several years previously. George J.
Stoneman removed from Globe to Phoenix in 1911 and established
the present partnership with Mr. Ling, and the firm of Stoneman &
Ling is one of the leading ones in the profession in Maricopa County.
Mr. Stoneman is actively connected with the Masons and Elks, and
is a member of the Society of Cincinnati of Maryland. He is also
a member of the Arizona Bar Association, of which he has served as
President. He married Miss Julia S. Hamrn.

WHO S WHO
REESE M. LING, Attorney-at-Law, Phoenix, member of the firm
of Stoneman & Ling, was born in Holmes County, Ohio, May 16,
1868. He is the only child of Martin and Mary Reese Ling, both
natives of Ohio. His father was engaged in farming, and was one
of the first to respond to Lincoln's call for volunteers, having served
until Lee's surrender. He was wounded at the battle of Ball's
Bluff, later captured and confined in Libby Prison eighteen months,
where he contracted an illness that eventually resulted in his death
at his Ohio home. Reese Ling attended the public schools, and at
the early age of fourteen entered the State University at Columbus,
which he attended for three years. In 1885 he came to Arizona,
entered the Tempe Normal School, and was graduated in twenty-two
weeks and qualified to teach in the public schools of the Territory.
During his course of study at the Normal, however, he had been
instructor in mathematics and Latin, and after his graduation began
teaching at Prescott, was thus employed for two years, and in the
meantime had taken up the study of law. He then entered the Law
Department of the University of Michigan, from which he was
graduated in 1890, valedictorian of a class numbering 280. He was
admitted to practice in Michigan, but shortly afterw r ard returned to
Prescott, and until recently, when he removed to Phoenix to enter
into his present partnership, was known as one of the successful
attorneys of that city, his practice extending over the entire northern
part of Arizona. Mr. Ling soon became actively interested in poli-
tics, for years has been a recognized force in the Democratic party,
and an able party leader. He was twice elected District Attorney of
Yavapai County, and served many years as City Attorney of Prescott.
At the first State election he w T as candidate for United States Senator,
but was defeated at the primaries. He is a member of the National
Democratic Committee. Mr. Ling has also been largely interested
in mining. He was a member of the Railroad Commission for three
years, and fraternally is connected with the I. O. O. F., A. O .U. W.,
Elks and Knights of Pythias. He is married, his family consisting of
a wife and three sons, one of whom is a practicing attorney at Clifton,
Arizona, and another a law r student at the University of Southern
California.
ELIAS S. CLARK, attorney-at-law, is one of the most prominently
known attorneys in the state. He w r as born June 17, 1862, in Knox
County, Maine, and there was educated in the public schools. When
quite young he came to Arizona, and studied law at Flagstaff, with
Edward M. Doe as his preceptor, was admitted to practice and opened
an office there. In 1897 he was elected District Attorney of Coconino
County and served one term. Later he removed his office to Prescott
and in 1903 he was elected District Attorney of Yavapai County,
filled this position until 1905, and then was appointed Attorney Gen-
eral of the Territory, and in this capacity served throughout Governor
Kibbey's administration. In 1909, at the expiration of his term as

O. T. RICHEY, Assistant United States Attorney for Arizona, has
proven by his continued success and gradual advancement in life that
rich relatives and influential friends are by no means essentials to suc-
cess, if one has ambition and is willing to do his part. Beginning as a
"kid" to do odd jobs, such as selling papers, blacking shoes and run-
ning errands, in Leadville, Colorado, when that town was in its
palmy days, in the early eighties, he has always been on the outlook for
opportunities. He ran away from home at the age of 15, going from
Southeastern Kansas to Chicago, and began work on a delivery wagon.
He was soon promoted to the position of clerk, and then to bookkeeper
and accountant. He followed the mercantile business and expert ac-
counting for several years, when he landed in the Manufacturers Na-
tional Bank of Pittsburg, Kansas, as teller. Real estate, loans, insur-
ance and other allied interests received his attention for a time, after
which he became affiliated with the Swift Packing Company as man-
ager of some of their eastern branches, and remained with them for
several years. In 1898 he came to Arizona and engaged in the ice
business at Tucson, also taking a fling at the cattle and general com-
mission and brokerage business throughout the southern part of the
state. Here for the first time he mixed in politics, and during the past
fifteen years has held many political and other positions of trust. Here
also he took up the study of law, w T as admitted to practice in the
Supreme and Federal Courts, and in the practice of his chosen profes-
sion his wide and comprehensive experience in almost every important
line of business has afforded him a training which enables him to ably
cope with the intricate problems constantly met by an attorney. This
training and his strong characteristics have on many occasions been a
powerful aid in the duties devolving upon him in the responsible posi-
tions with which he has been honored. His untiring energy and un-
swerving honesty of purpose have earned for him a reputation which
resulted in his selection by Honorable George W. Wickersham, to his
present position, Assistant United States Attorney for the state. He
is a Progressive Taft Republican in politics. He is a 32nd Degree
Mason, and has held high offices in Masonry, as w r ell as in the Elks,
I. O. O. F., K. of P., and A. O. U. W. organizations, and is also a
former member of the National Guard. Mr. Richer married Miss
Bertha Marsh Judd, of Quebec, Canada, and to the union two child-
ren, Alice H. and George J., have been born. From bootblack to the
important position of Assistant United States Attorney is a long jump,
but the many friends of O. T. Richey think he is still on the "spring
board" of his career.

ney Joseph E. Morrison. His associations in these positions have
been of distinct political value in a professional way, and Mr. Forest

Since then he has continuously been in the practice of his profession,
until very recently in Missouri, as he located in Phoenix, Arizona, in
the early fall of 1912. During his residence in Missouri Mr.
Tompson attained much prominence in his profession, ranking among
the able attorneys of the State and being well known in the various
legal associations. His record in Arizona in a professional way is
necessarily rather limited, but as a booster of the State, and of Phoenix
especially, he has already established a reputation founded on fact.
Having come here on a business trip a short time ago, Mr. Tompson
was so strongly impressed in favor of Phoenix, its climate and general
outlook, that he decided to make it his permanent residence, and,
with Mrs. Tompson returned in a short time for this purpose.
They have made their home at 1608 W. Monroe Street. Mr.
Tompson has opened an office and during his short stay has been un-
usually successful in becoming acquainted in the business world and
establishing a practice. He is a Democrat and has held various
positions of honor at his former home, having been Chairman of the
County Central Committee, member of the State Committee, alternate
delegate to the National Convention at St. Louis, and delegate to the
State Convention for many years. He has also served as Probate
Judge and Prosecuting Attorney, and served as Special Judge of
Circuit Court on a number of occasions. In 1901 he was Chairman
of the Democratic Congressional Convention at St. Joseph, Missouri,
and lacked but one vote of securing the nomination for Congress at
that Convention. Fraternally he is also well connected, being a mem-
ber of the Masons, Elks, and Venerable Consul of the M. W. A.

George W. Cass
GEORGE W. CASS, attorney-at-law, was born in Coshocton, Ohio,
in 1852. His father, Abner L. Cass, was a physician, and his mother
was a descendant of Dr. Joseph Kerr, one of the noted pioneer min-
isters of the Presbyterian faith in the vicinity of Pittsburg, Pa. The
history of the Cass family in this country dates back to colonial times
and Jonathan Cass, great grandfather of George W. Cass, was Major
in a New Hampshire regiment during the Revolution. Lewis Cass,
Democratic nominee for the Presidency of the United States, who was
defeated through Van Buren's treachery, was his uncle. Another
uncle, George W. Cass, was a prominent railroad man and president
of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago Railroad before it was
leased by the Pennsylvania, and was also first president of the Adams
Express Company. Mr. Cass's father was State Senator in Ohio for
many terms. Mr. Cass was graduated from Kenyon College and re-
ceived the degree of A. B. and afterwards received the degree of A.
M., and was later graduated from the Law Department of the Uni-

versity of Michigan. He is a member of the Delta Kappa Epsilon,
Phi Delta Phi, and Phi Beta Kappa fraternities, the last named being
composed entirely of honor men. Mr. Cass was admitted to the bar
in Illinois and practiced his profession principally in corporation and
real estate law, in Chicago from 1874 to 1902, when he disposed of
his practice there to come to Arizona. He reached this state in 1903,

mission as a state, he was requested to become a candidate for United
States Senator. He has declined all political honors for many years,
however, and now devotes his entire time to the practice of his profes-
sion and to the raising of cattle, in which he is interested. Mr. Cox

Annie Chandler Woods, made their home for many years. His father
was a baker and confectioner by trade, but adapted himself to condi-
ditions on the frontier and worked as farmer, miner and stock raiser.
Mr. Woods came to Arizona in 1876, at the age of 17, having finished
James Andrew Woods
the high school course in Utah. He spent a short time in the north-
ern part of the state, then went to Prescott and passed a teachers' ex-
amination. After this he had a school district laid out, secured an
appropriation, and taught one of the first country schools in that dis-
trict, which is now Winslow. He continued as teacher for eighteen
years, and during his vacations was engaged in farming, stock raising
and lumbering, making the best of existing conditions. He was elect-
ed County Superintendent in the general election of 1908, but on the
formation of Greenlee County from a portion of Graham County,
394 \V H O ' S WHO
under Territorial Law, owing to the classification of the County, the
Probate Judge acted as Ex-Officio Superintendent of County Schools.
At the death of Judge Thomas S. Bunch, how r ever, in May, 1911,
Mr. Woods was appointed to fill both these positions, which he did
with credit until February 14, 1912, when the state officials were
sworn in. He has been greatly interested in the development of
education within the state, and is now serving his third term as Super-
intendent of Graham County Schools. He w T as recently offered a
position with a salary nearly twice as great as that which he receives
at present, but he refused to accept it until he shall have fulfilled the
contract which he made with the voters of Graham County when they
elected him Superintendent of their schools. Mr. Woods has also
served as School Trustee, Mayor, and Justice of the Peace at Thatch-
er, his home town. During his nine years as Justice but one case was
appealed from his court, and in that his decision was confirmed by the
District Court. Mr. Woods was united in marriage with Miss Lo-
vina Brimhall, daughter of a well known farmer of Tempe, and to
the marriage have been born twelve children, five sons and seven
daughters, eleven of whom are living. He has also six grandsons and
two granddaughters. He is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints and is a High Priest in the Church. He was
called on a mission to Mexico, but owing to the uprising there, did
not fill it. Like many other old timers, Mr. Woods has seen service
on Indian trails for the recovery of stolen animals and carrying mess-
ages, and has many times narrowly escaped death at the hands of the
Apaches during their raids, especially that of Geronimo.

partnership with Vic Hanny, under the firm name of Brannen &
Hanny, which was the beginning of the present substantial and success-
ful business now conducted solely by Mr. Brannen, as he bought out
Mr. Hanny 's interests in the firm two years ago, since when the latter
has devoted his attention to his similar business in Phoenix. In addi-
tion to his mercantile business, Mr. Brannen is actively interested in
various enterprises in cattle, mining and banking. He is a director
in the Gila Land & Cattle Company, which has large holdings in the

Colonel Fred H. Bowler
404
WHO S WHO
By Robert Berg.
COLONEL FRED H. BOWLER is one of the historic Western men
whose varied career goes to make up the romance of the winning of
the West. Always playing a prominent part in mining and in public
life he has won and lost several fortunes, but through it all has re-
tained that optimism that is characteristic of the sturdy pioneers that
have reclaimed and built the western empire. Col. Bowler was
born in Collinsville, Illinois, April 18, 1859. His father was John
Westley Bowler, who came to Arizona when the Colonel was only
one year old. His mother was Edith Elmira Stanton, the niece of
Edwin S. Stanton, Secretary of War during Lincoln's administration.
In 1873 Colonel Bowler's father moved to California, where he
engaged in the stock business and at one time was a partner of J. B.
Haggin. His son was educated in the schools of California. Young
Fred learned the trade of machinist but soon the fascination of mining
ensnared him and in 1885 he began his career as a miner with the
Copper Queen Consolidated Mining Company in Arizona. From
this point he went to Shasta County, California, where he made a
fortune in mining but lost it in the panic of 1893. Undaunted by
this reversal of fortune he again engaged in mining but more as a
scholar, traveling on the European continent, in Washington, British
Columbia, Mexico, South America, South Africa and Siberia. In
every one of these places he studied mining conditions and methods
and upon his return to his native country he studied chemistry, sur-
veying and metallurgy, thus gaining a complete and practical knowl-
edge of mining. In 1905 he went to Nevada and engaged in mining
and engineering projects, among other things building the water
works system in Tonopah and Bullfrog. He subsequently went to
Searchlight and made another fortune w r hich was swept away in the
panic of 1907. From there he went to Nevada again and was placed
in charge of the Tonopah Liberty and later assumed charge of some
mining property in Shasta County, California, as Deputy United
States Marshal. He came to Arizona in 1912, where he assumed
charge of the Calzona Mines. For some years he was in charge of
the Batapilas Mines in Mexico, one of the gigantic projects of that
country. Col. Bowler has also played a prominent part in Western
public life, particularly along the frontier where men of judgment
and courage were needed. In many of the communities where he
resided he was held in such high esteem by his fellowmen that he was
repeatedly made the Sheriff, Deputy Sheriff and Deputy Marshal.
He served two terms in the California Legislature and was tendered
the nomination for member of the assembly in this State, but was
compelled to decline on account of business and personal matters.
Colonel Bowler gained his military title at the battle of San Juan
Hill when he served in the volunteer army.

BABBITT BROTHERS, General Merchants Thirty years ago, before
the old Atlantic & Pacific Railway joined by its rails of steel, the
elite East with the then frontier West, David and William Babbitt,
with true pioneer spirit, braved the hardships of the almost unknown
Arizona and settling in view of the grand old San Francisco Peaks, at
the point no\v known as Flagstaff, they purchased a small bunch of
cattle and later established a small merchandise business, which has
since grown to the proportions of the largest department store in
Northern Arizona. By fair dealing they quickly won the confidence
of the early settlers, and this reputation firmly established, has been
the basis of their continued success. From a frontier trading post has
grown the present modern department store, which keeping pace with
the trend of modern merchandising, now occupies the space of a city
block, and is equipped with a complete cold storage and electric light-
ing plant, an ice making plant, and several fireproof warehouses.
Recent additions to this business consist of a thoroughly modern pack-
ing plant and fireproof abbatoir, all equipped with the latest improved
machinery. Those by-products which in the early days of range
slaughtering were considered mere waste, are now being manufactured
into fertilizers and other profitable products. A recent departure has
been the construction of a modern, well equipped garage, where high
grade motor cars are on sale. Babbitt Brothers now purchase from
the markets of the East and West all staple goods in carload lots.
From this small beginning has developed a chain of stores, commis-
saries and Indian trading posts, eight in all, doing business all
through northern Arizona, and their influence is to be noted in
almost every town along the Santa Fe. Visitors are invariably
surprised at the choice and varied stock on display in this modern
store, where there may constantly be found on hand the largest as-
sortment of genuine Navajo blankets and silverwork in the southwest.
With three trading posts in the Indian country, and through direct
trading with the Indians, this concern is able to supply the trade in
any quantity, with genuine Indian wares of all kinds. One of the
largest exhibits of ancient pottery, war hammers, and relics of the
ancient tribes is on display and is always an attraction to visitors.
Four of the Babbitt Brothers, David, Charles, George and William,
are now included in this co-partnership. They also own great
stretches of range country and are heavily interested in cattle, horses
and sheep. They all occupy prominent parts in the civic, political and
social life of Arizona, and are particularly interested in the advance-
ment of the education of the youth of Arizona. Always alive to op-
portunities, quick to decide, with keen foresight into the future, their
success has been attained through many trials and severe tests. The
name of Babbitt has long been a factor in the development of Arizona,
and these men have always been foremost in aiding any project that
promised an opportunity for the good of their locality.

FRED TUTTLE COLTER, widely known and generally recognized as
one of Arizona's most enterprising and public spirited men, is the son
of James H. G. and Rosa Rudd Colter, and a native of this State,
having been born at Neutrioso, February 2, 1879. Living on one of
the finest and most thoroughly equipped ranches in Arizona, he is
known throughout the State as a stock raiser, and considered an au-
thority on matters pertaining to this business, a reputation which is
truly merited, for Mr. Colter's knowledge of the subject has been a
part of his lifelong education. His father was extensively interested
in cattle raising, and in 1880 moved to Alma, New Mexico, where he
had a large range. This was, however, situated on an Indian trail
leading from the Apache Reservation to Mexico, and the Indians
killed most of the stock ard many of the settlers. In 1883, after a
three days fight in which 27 white men were combatting 300 Indians
led by Geronimo, his father sold out and moved to Newton, Kansas,
where he again engaged in live stock and farming. In 1888 he re-
turned to Arizona, and located at Springerville, which then became
the permanent home of the family. Mr. Colter's tendency toward
independence and unusual energy which have been among his most
marked characteristics in later life asserted themselves when he was
quite a small boy, as at the age of twelve years he started out to work
for himself before and after school hours and during vacation periods
to pay his way through school, and his surplus earnings, even at that
time, were invested in cattle. His public school course having been
completed, in 1899-1900 he took a business course in Pueblo,
Colorado, and this is the only actual lapse in his career as stockman
from early boyhood. Returning to Arizona in 1900, he engaged in
the stoc 1 : business in a larger way, and has since continued to add to
his stock of cattle, horses and sheep, until his business may now be
ranked among the leading ones of Arizona. While gradually increas-
ing the range of his personal business, at this time he accepted a posi-
tion as manager for a cattle outfit owned by Mr. W. H. Phelps, who
had the utmost confidence in his ability and integrity, as he had pre-
viously been employed by Mr. Phelps in a different capacity, and to
him Mr. Colter feels that he is indebted in many ways. In addition
to the live stock business, Mr. Colter is a large dealer in land and a
well known developer of the same. In 1905 he made some invest-
ments in land and commenced reclaiming other land by taking out
ditches and building reservoirs, of which he has built six. He is now
prominently identified with various construction and reservoir com-
pa"ie throughout the State, being Pre-ident of the Colter Construc-
tion Company and of the America^ Valley Reservoir Company, and
Director of the Lyman Re-ervoir Company. He is also President of
the Colter-Tyler Live~toc'r Company. Pesides the demands made on
his time and energy by his business affiliations, Mr. Colter has served
.in. va"iou^ political capac:t;e\ In 1904 he was Democratic nominee

for Supervisor in Apache, a strongly Republican county, and was de-
feated by but 15 votes; while in 1906 he was elected for the long
term, and served as Supervisor until February 14, 1912, when Arizona
became a State. He was elected delegate to the Constitutional Con-
vention and was made Chairman of the Committee on Mode of
Amending Schedule and Miscellaneous. In March, 1912, Governor
Hunt appointed Mr. Colter a member of the State Sanitary Sheep
Commission. He is also a member of the Executive Committee from
Apache County of the Democratic State Central Committee. He
is now serving his second term as Vice President of the Arizona Cattle
Growlers' Association. He is also one of the Committee on Forest
Reserves and Public Grazing of the American National Live Stock
Association, and a long time member of the Elks Lodge, he is at
present one of the Executive Committee of the same. Mr. Colter was
married November 11, 1904, to Miss Duge Phelps, who is well
known and popular in the social life of both Arizona and California.
Benjamin B. Crosby
BENJAMIN B. CROSBY, General Grading Contractor, Cattleman
and Wool Grower, is known throughout the State as a man who has
handled all kinds of contracts during the past twelve years and has
done much work for the Santa Fe Railroad. Mr. Crosby was edu-
cated mainly in the school of experience, and he has taken a post
graduate course. He has one of the finest ranches in the State at
IN ARIZONA
411
Eagar, where his family make their home. He with A. H. Pratt has
some of the finest cattle in Arizona, having shipped in a carload of the
best Durhams obtainable two years ago, which formed the nucleus
of one of the finest herds in the northern part of the state. Mr.
Crosby's two brothers, Jesse C. and George H., Jr., are both attorneys
of large counties, and he declares they attend to the political end
of the business, and despite the urging of his friends has refused po-
litical office at all times, preferring to give his attention to his many
interests.
C. A. CLARK & Co. One of the largest and best known mercan-
tile establishments in Arizona is that of C. A. Clark & Co., General
Outfitters to Men, of Flagstaff. From a small beginning and modest
capital the company has by fair dealing and honest values built up a
trade w 7 hich compares well with
that of the largest in the state.
Both of the members of the firm,
C. A. and John M. Clark, have
had a wide variety of experience in
all lines, and both have large ac-
quaintance among the men promi-
nent in the affairs of Arizona. The
firm not only carries a complete
line, but it is selected with an idea
of pleasing all classes of trade, and
at reasonable prices.
JOHN MILTON CLARK is best
known for the part he took in
quelling tw r o outbreaks at the
Yuma penitentiary while he was
an official of that institution. He
served under five governors and
five superintendents. Mr. Clark's
reputation was such that United
States Marshal Daniels, after his
appointment, selected him as an
office deputy. He has served his
apprenticeship in the saddle as cow
puncher and sheepman, and has
been interested in all other kinds of work. As manager of C. A.
Clark & Co. he has shown his ability as a merchant. While
without political aspirations, he has been prominent in the
affairs of the Republican party, wields a large influence, and
although refusing office, has been chairman of the county cen-
tral committee of the G. O. P. J. M. Clark married Miss
Agnes Martin, daughter of George Martin, of Tucson, who
played a prominent part in the creating of the state out of the prairie
412 WHO'S WHO
wilderness. Mr. Martin was one of the earliest pioneers and was
active in the earliest struggles of the settlers about Yuma., Tucson,
Prescott and other pioneer towns of the state. George Martin helped
to welcome the first governor to Arizona. Mrs. Clark's grandfather,
Stephen Rodondo, was a member of the first territorial legislature of
Arizona.
C. A. CLARK, senior member of the firm, is well known as a
sheepman, and has recently turned the mercantile business over to
his brother while he devotes his time to his flocks. He, like his brother,
is a self-made man, and has had a variety of experience. He started
business as delivery boy and clerk in the employ of Babbitt Bros. An-
other family resemblance is his lack of political aspirations, but he
has through civic pride served a term as member of the city council
of Flagstaff.
That "blood will tell" is proven in the case of the members of
this firm. Their mother, Rosaline, is today one of the best known
fraternal leaders in the state, and has held the highest office in the
Eastern Star lodge of Arizona, and is also prominent as a Rebekah
having been a delegate to the state conventions in both orders. She
is a direct descendant of a well known pioneer family of Maine and
among her direct relatives have been prominent attorneys, jurists and
public men, including Bartlett Tripp, a minister to Europe, who was
appointed by President Cleveland.
OLIVER E. COMSTOCK, Justice of the Peace in Tucson, now serving
his second term in that office, and minister and missionary in the Bap-
tist Church, has had a varied and interesting career, having lived in
several states and followed various occupations. His family have
been in America two hundred years, and his ancestors were promi-
nent in both the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, his- great-grand-uncle
General Comstock, having served in the Revolutionary War. He is
the son of Oliver L. Comstock, a manufacturer of New Albany,
Indiana, and was born in that city December 28, 1854. He first
attended the public schools and then the Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary, at Louisville, where he became a regularly ordained min-
ister, and he was pastor of Furnace Hill Baptist Church at Sheffield
for twenty years. He also learned printing, engaged in the trade for
several years in Kentucky and Alabama, and for a number of years
was publisher of the "Sheffield Reaper," but he sold out his interest in
this business to act as City Clerk, which position he held about two
years prior to his coming to Tucson. In Arizona he was employed as
printer for some time, until he became a member of the Smith-Com-
stock Printing Company, a well known firm in the southern part of
the ?tate, of which he was one of the organizers. He has been a
member of the Typographical Union for more than twenty years, and
always active in anv movement that will tend towards its benefit. He

is a member of a number of societies, among them being the Masons
in which he has attained the highest degree, also the Odd Fellows,
Sovereign Camp of Woodmen of the World, Redmen and Knights of
Honor, and was one of the original members of the Improved Order
of Heptasophs, only five of whom are living. He has held positions
of the highest honor in all of these societies. Mr. Comstock was
married in Louisville, Ky., his wife having been Miss Jennie F. Mc-
Clelland of that state, and with their family of nine children they have
made their permanent home in Tucson.
THE DOUBLE CIRCLE CATTLE COMPANY, Clifton, of which A.
Drumm is president, E. W. Houx, vice president, and M. L. Mc-
Clure, secretary and treasurer, are the occupants of a ranch which was
located more than thirty years ago when the Indians were very trouble-
some. The first owner of the double circle brand was Joe Hampton,
and later his brother, John Hampton, became a partner in the busi-
ness and continued to handle the double circle cattle until four years
ago, when the Hamptons sold a half interest in the brand to Mr.
Drumm, of Kansas City, Mo., and A. T. Wilson, of Clifton, and the
Double Circle Cattle Company was organized. The Hamptons have
since sold their entire remaining interest to Mr. Drumm. This ranch
has always been noted for the excellent breed of its animals and has
always bought the best white face and Durham bulls. At the present
time the Company has on the ranch about 15,000 head of cattle, and
are now branding about 4,500 calves.

William W. Brookner
WILLIAM W. BROOKNER, of the firm of W. W. Brookner & Co.,
of Globe, was born in Dixon, Illinois, in 1860, where he was educated
in the public schools, received a thoroughly good commercial educa-
tion, and lived until his twentieth year. He received an excellent
home training, early displayed habits of thrift and industry, and his
discerning mind saw in the far west opportunities which did not exist
in Illinois. Rumors which emanated from the silver district of Globe
reached him and in 1881 he came to Arizona, located in Globe and
worked at whatever happened in his way. His chief stock in trade
w r as a firm determination to succeed, and realizing that this, together
with the substantial characteristics of thrift and industry, formed the
sole basis of his fight for success, one is willing to concede that Mr.
Brookner is, indeed, entitled to all the credit which his fellowmen
readily accord him. The well conducted mercantile establishment over
which Mr. Brookner presides, and which under his capable supervis-
ion has developed into one of the best of its kind, was organized in
1899, since when it has experienced a continually increasing prosper-
IN ARIZONA

ity. Their stock is well chosen and complete and at all times meets
the varied demands made upon it by the people of that vicinity. Mr.
Brookner is also a member of the firm of Brookner & Neff, San
Carlos. Prior to the incorporation of the Globe store he participated
in the organization of the Old Dominion Commercial Company, and
acted as manager of the same. He has always been a staunch Demo-
crat, and served two terms as Treasurer of Gila County. He has
long been a member of the B. P. O. E. Mr. Brookner was married
in Globe in 1884 to Miss Sarah Glenn, a native of Canada.
WM. L. BURT, though one of the comparatively recent arrivals
in Arizona, has already been recognized as one of the leaders in in-
surance and financial circles of this state. He was born in Owensby,
Ky., thirty years ago. His father is Col. D. H. Burt, one of the noted
_ veterans of the Civil War. His
mother was Miss S. J. Mason.
He married Miss Elsie Miller,
one of the descendants of the
Millers of Arkansas, one of the
oldest and best known families
of the south. Mr. Burt is a
law graduate trom the Univer-
sity of Arkansas and from
Harvard University. After
his graduation he practiced
law in Arkansas and was the
law partner of U. S. Bratton,
one of the leading men of his
state who is now the post-
master in Little Rock, Ark.
Mr. Burt came west four
years ago and entered the
banking business in Los An-
Angeles, organizing the Oil
and Metals Bank and Trust
Company of Los Angeles, dur-
ing the oil excitement. This
institution has become ore of
the important financial organ-
izations of California. He
has since then become more or less identified with the insurance busi-
ness and came to Phoenix, where he organized The Arizona and
New Mexico Underwriters Company, which now represents the
leading insurance companies of the United States. He is now the
Vice President and General Manager of this organization. Mr. Burt

ington. He received his early education in the public schools of Cin-
cinnati, after which he took a course at Leland Stanford University,
taking his diploma
there as mining en-
gineer and metallur-
gist in 1898. Mr.
Worthington is wel
known in the south-
west, especially in
Southern Arizona
and Sonora, Mexico.
His first business as-
sociations were in
California and Mex-
ico, and having es-
tablished a reputa-
tion there, he was
offered a position
with the Calumet

During this time Mr. Worthington has earned a name for integrity
and ability in his line, is considered an authority on copper deposits,
and conducted the examination of a number of valuable properties in
this section. At present he is in charge of the development of several
mines in the Patagonia District for the A. L. Harroun Syndicate, of
Kansas City, the company which developed the El Tigre Mines in
Sonora. Mr. Worthington is a member of the B. P. O. E., and is

office, is a native of South Carolina; he was born in Due West, in
1858. His father, Captain John Cowan, was a planter and merchant,
and his grandfather was one of the early settlers of the State. Judge
Cowan was graduated from Erskine College of South Carolina, after
which he studied law in Georgia and was admitted to practice before
the Supreme Court of that State in 1882. The same year he came to
Arizona, settling in Kingman, where he practiced law, owned a cattle
ranch and was interested in mines. In 1887, having been greatly
attracted by the boom in that vicinity he proceeded to San Diego,
but soon returned to Kingman. He was shortly afterwards elected
Probate Judge, w T hich position he held for four years. He has also
served as Clerk of the District Court of Mohave County and Clerk of
the Board of Supervisors. In 1895 he was elected to the office of
County Recorder, and in 1897 was chosen by a handsome majority as
member of the Assembly to represent Mohave County in the 19th
Legislature. He was also elected to the Legislature from Pima

passed the well known Cowan Hill, by means of which fees amount-
ing to many thousands of dollars have been added to the treasury of
Arizona. In addition to his legal and official duties Judge Cowan has
continued to be largely interested in mining properties, and at the
present time has an interest in mines in Mexico and is joint owner
with Senator Mark Smith of the Congress Mine. Judge Cowan is a
member of the I. O. O. F. and Mystic Circle. He was married in

JOHN IGO, City Marshal and Tax Collector of the City of Doug-
las, is one of the best known citizens of Cochise County, and has
twice made a remarkable showing in the race for the position he now
holds. His record as Court Interpreter and Clerk of the Police and
Justice Court was responsible
for his election to this office the
first time by a large majority,
but at the expiration of his term
he was re-elected by the largest
vote ever given any candidate
for office in Douglas. John Igo
is the son of Victor and Agnes
McCarty Igo, and was born in
Emporia, Kansas, but has been
a resident of Arizona since he.
was two years of age. He was
brought up on a ranch and
along the big railroad lines, and
until he branched out for him-
self he worked with his father,
who was a railroad contractor.
Apart from this his first posi-
tion was assistant postmaster at
Huachuca, and his next was in
the Copper Queen store, where
he has been employed in various
capacities. He has also been in
charge of a portion of the El
Paso and Southwestern right of way, and in all these positions has
given entire satisfaction. He was elected City Marshal after four
years service as Clerk and Interpreter, and his administration has
pleased every one except the criminal element. Mr. Igo is as well
known in fraternal and social affairs as in civic, is prominent in the
Fraternal Brotherhood and B. P. O. E., and his friends are urging
him to make a race for a county position, feeling that his splendid

NEILL EDWAROS BAILEY, General Superintendent of the United
Verde & Pacific Railway, and best known throughout the State as
the Father of the Direct Primary Law of Arizona, though a native of
California, where he was born December 20, Ib74, is really of South-
ern lineage and is the son of George H. and Sophia Amsler Bailey,
both members of well known Southern families. His father was a
distinguished officer in the Confederate Army. Mr. Bailey received
his education in California, but has been a resident of Arizona since
1892. His first position was that of telegrapher, from which he has
risen by dint of exceptional ability and close attention to detail, to
that of General Superintendent. He is a Director in the Arizona
Life Insurance Company and associated with many other business en-
terprises throughout the State, is well known and popular politically,
a prominent member of the Masonic Order, being a Knight Templar
and member of the Mystic Shrine; and in a social way, both himself
and Mrs. Bailey, who was bred in the City of Savannah, are recog-
nized dispensers of true Southern hospitality. In 1898 Mr. Bailey
raised a company of infantry, received the commission of Second Lieu-
tenant and served in the First Territorial Volunteer Infantry in the
Spanish-American War, under Colonel Myron H. McCord, a former

GEORGE A. FLEMING, City Clerk and Treasurer of Flagstaff, is one
of the well known politicians of Arizona, and during his term of
office has shown marked abil-

Coming from Charleston,
S. C., to make his home in Ari-
zona, he was early honored by
the people of Coconino Coun-
ty, with the Democratic nomi-
nation for Clerk of the Super-
ior Court. In the municipal
election at Flagstaff, he was
chosen from a number of
strong candidates, for the of-
fice of City Clerk and Treas-
urer, and is filling that office
to the satisfaction of his con-
stituency, and with honor to
himself.
He is a descendant of a well
known Southern family, his
mother, Mrs. James F. Mc-
Carroll, of Hammond, Louisi-
ana, being a composer whose
darky melodies and short stor-
ies are popular throughout
Dixie. Mr. Fleming was born
in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1885, attended the parochial schools of
South Carolina, and was graduated from St. Mary's College, North
Carolina. After the death of Mr. Fleming's father, his mother mar-
ried James F. McCarroll, one of the largest lumbermen of Louisiana
and Mississippi, and a man of great business ability.
Mr. Fleming is active and energetic in all public movements for
the welfare and advancement of Arizona, and takes prominent part in
the social and fraternal life of the new State. He is a leader in the
Knights of Columbus, and has held high office in other fraternal so-
cieties. Genial, popular and active, those who have watched his
career in Arizona expect him to attain to political prominence.

WHO S W H O
ALBERT CLINTON DEWITT was born in Buffalo, New York, in
1870. He is the son of Owen Clinton Dewitt of Buffalo, former
District Attorney of Erie County, N. Y., and a direct descendant of
Cornelius Dewitt, one of the earliest settlers of New Amsterdam, and
also of General Warren, of Revolutionary fame, his paternal grand-
mother having been Miss Harriet Warren. His father was Captain
of the 121st U. S. Volunteer New York Infantry during the Civil
War, and eight of his uncles also served in this war. He, therefore,
comes of a family of prominent fighters, and his career in Arizona
has demonstrated that he inherited some of the spirit of his fore-
fathers, which has aided him in accomplishing much because of his
determination to overcome obstacles, and he has attained a position in
the community commensurate with his public spiritedness and particu-
lar attainments, though he landed in Arizona with practically nothing.
He is now owner of one of the State's finest ranches, situated in the
Buckeye Valley, and while devoting his time in the main to the occu-
pation of farming and stock raising, he has large interests in many

JUDGE P. P. PARKER, though a descendant of good old Yankee
stock, was born at Barnston, Quebec, December 26, 1835. Here he
spent his early youth and \vas educated in the public schools and
Barnston Academy. His father, Alpheus Parker, was a farmer and
one of the pioneers of that sec-
tion. His mother was a native
of Vermont. Judge Parker
came West in 1858 and taught
in the public schools of Illinois
and Missouri. In the summer
of 1859 he started across the
plains for Pikes Peak with an ox
team and landed at the present
site of the City of Denver.
Here he spent the summer in
prospecting and mining, and re-
turned in the fall to his school
work in Missouri. In the Civil
War Judge Parker had a record
of which any man might be
proud, and though he partici-
pated in some of the most im-
portant battles, among them
Chattanooga, Look Out Moun-
tain and the siege of Vicksburg,
was never wounded. In 1861
he joined the Missouri Home
Guards, became First Lieutenant in Company C of the 6th Mis-
souri Militia, in the fall of the same year was mustered out and
entered the United States Volunteer service as First Lieutenant, and
his regiment was assigned to General Sherman's command. In July,
1864, he was made Captain of his company and was honorably dis-
charged late in the fall of the same year. Having returned to his
home he was married in January, 1865, to Miss Susan F. Hendricks,
a native of Missouri. He made his home in Missouri until 1884,
when he removed to North Dakota, where he was appointed by the
Governor one of the Commissioners to organize Towner County. He
afterwards engaged in farming and stock raising, and served as Clerk
of the District Court until he came to Arizona in 1888, as contractor
on the South Gila Canal in Yuma County. In 1889 he located in
Phoenix, which has since been his home. Judge Parker stands high as
a civil and mining engineer, is well posted in irrigation engineering,
and has been engaged in this state in enterprises of great magnitude.
He was one of the promoters of the Rio Verde canal. He has also
been deeply interested in mining projects in the New River District.
In politics he is a Democrat, and has filled many posts of honor in
426
WHO S WHO
the state. He served three terms in the Territorial Legislature. In
the 21st Legislature, the first one to occupy the new capitol building,
he was chosen Speaker of the House, a peculiarly appropriate distinc-
tion, since he it was who fought through the 19th Legislature the
bill for the bonding of the territory for the construction of the capitol.
He has also served on the staffs of Governor Franklin and Governor
McCord, and as a member of the Territorial Central Committee.
Judge Parker is a member of the Arizona Society of the Sons of the
American Revolution, and an honored member of the G. A. R. He is
a 32nd degree Mason, one of the most prominent in the state, and a
member of the Mystic Shrine and Knights Templar; also of the Ari-
zona Society of Civil Engineers. His family consists of three sons
and one daughter, Miss Angie B. Parker, who is Deputy Clerk of the
Supreme Court. He is a gentleman of high social qualities and has
an extensive circle of friends who esteem him for his genuine worth.
W. J. MULVEXOX, a native of Massachusetts, where he was born
October 25, 1853, has nevertheless, spent his entire life in the west, as
the family removed to Kansas when he was three years of age, and in
that then frontier state he received his earliest impressions of life and
his early education. He left home when but fifteen and went to Colo-
rado, where he worked at mining, later moved on to New Mexico, and
in 1875 came to Arizona, where again he devoted his attention to
mining for about six years, in the Peck District. While in New
Mexico he served for three years as Deputy Sheriff at Silver City, and
in 1881 he was appointed deputy to Sheriff Walker of Yavapai, and
at the expiration of that term he was appointed by the succeeding
sheriff, Henkle, and served another two years. At that time the
county comprised the territory now composing Yavapai, Coconino,
Navajo and Apache. Mr. Mulvenon was elected on the Democratic
ticket to succeed Sheriff Henkle, and served as sheriff of the county
the two terms following, from 1885 to 1889. During that time his
ability was often severely taxed, especially when trouble arose in the
Tonto Basin between sheep and cattle raisers, and it was one time
necessary for him to organize a force of forty of the best and bravest
men to assist him in quelling the warfare. During his term of service
he made some famous captures and did much that made him noted and
aided in placing the frontier territory of Arizona on a safe and sound
basis. He has the reputation of having been one of the most efficient
sheriffs the territory has ever known. In politics Mr. Mulvenon has
ever been a Democrat whose judgment in party councils was highly
regarded, and has served on both county and territorial committees.
He was elected to the Assembly of the 19th Legislature, in which he
served with great credit, and was a member of the following commit-
tees : Ways and Means ; Appropriations ; Printing and Rental of
School Lands. In 1894 he organized the Crystal Ice Company in
IN ARIZONA

Prescott, became its manager, and soon built up a large wholesale and
retail trade. He was married in Prescott to Miss Ella Johnson, a
native of Oregon, whose parents were among the early settlers of the
Pacific Coast.
JAMES H. McCuNTOCK, Postmaster of Phoenix, familiarly
known as "Colonel Jim" by his many friends, was born in San Fran-
cisco on February 23, 1864. He received his early education in the
public schools of that city, and after coming to Arizona enrolled as a
student in Tempe Normal, was a member of the first class which
graduated from that school, and taught in the public schools of the
Territory for a time. He then took up newspaper work, joining his
brother in the publication of the Phoenix Herald, which has since
been absorbed by the Republican. Mr. McClintcok is a practical
printer, reporter and editor, and has worked on various papers within
the State, among which are the Gazette and the Republican in
Phoenix. For some years he has been a contributor to various mag-
azines, which he continues to do in connection with his other duties,
as his services are in constant demand by the largest newspapers and
magazines of the United States. At the outbreak of the Spanish War
he enlisted in Roosevelt's Rough Rider Regiment and was made
Captain of Troop A, and while the war lasted, served with distinc-
tion. At its close he again engaged in newspaper work until April,
1902, when he was appointed postmaster. To this office he has been
twice reappointed. Since he assumed charge of the office the force
has been increased from 12 to 40, and its annual income from
$27,000 to $90,000. Colonel McClintock has been a faithful mem-
ber of the Board of Trade for many years, and has served both as
its President and as Chairman of the Advertising Committee. After
the Spanish War he was commissioned Colonel of the First Arizona
Infantry, or National Guard of Arizona, which position he resigned
in 1910. He is now Historian, and has been President, of the
Rough Riders' Association. Archaeology and education have al-
ways especially interested him, and he is probably as well posted as
any man not a scientist on the prehistoric and present Indian tribes
of Arizona. He has served as President of the Arizona Folk Lore
Society, and several terms as member of Educational Boards.
ERNEST E. ANDERSON, assistant postmaster, Phoenix, is a native
of New Jersey, and was born in Dover, October 31, 1887. He was
educated in his native state and served an apprenticeship as machinist.
He first came to Arizona eight years ago and secured employment at
his trade with the Santa Fe at Winslow. After six months, however,
he proceeded to California, where he spent two years, and during this
time passed the necessary examination and obtained an appointment as
railway mail clerk. He then returned to Arizona, located in Phoe-

nix, and was appointed to a clerkship in the postoffice under the Civil
Service rules, being later promoted to his present position. Mr. And-
erson is a member of the Masonic Order, Lodge No. 2 of Phoenix.
H. W. LATH LEAN, superintendent of mails, Phoenix postoffice, was
born in London, England, in 1863. fie was educated in his native
city, and made his home there until 1887, when he came to this coun-
try and settled in Louisville, Ky. For twelve years he was employed
in the postoffice of Louisville, and is, therefore, thoroughly experienced
in this work. He came to Arizona in 1910, since when Phoenix has
been his home, and during this time he has been employed solely in
postal work. In 1895 he returned to London and was married to Miss
Jane Ellen Todd, and to this union have been born five children,
Eleanor, Sidney, Stephen, John and Ruth.
B. & B. does not stand for Biggest and Best, but gazing from the
Plaza across at the store of the Bashford-Burmister Company, and
judging from its size, one might be led to believe that such was the
case. This great department store is not only among the best and
largest in the state, but is also a pioneer institution. When Prescott
was but a trading center for the U. S. troops, in the early 60's, a small
post was established by the Bashford-Burmister Company, and since
then its growth has been continuous. The volume of business done in
this store, with its more than fifty thousand square feet of floor space,
is not exceeded by any concern in Arizona, and the remarkable growth
of the store has been due largely to the manner in which the business
has always been conducted. In the dry goods department excellency
reigns supreme, and the immense stock of dry goods, silks, laces, men's
furnishings, ladies' ready to \vear clothing, shoes and millinery is so
arranged as to show to the best advantage, so it is the mecca of artistic
shoppers at all seasons of the year. The grocery and supply depart-
ment is always stocked with a complete line of the staples, as well as
the delicacies of the season, especial care being given to the products of
this state, fruits and vegetables of the rich soil of Arizona being al-
ways found in abundance in the spacious store rooms. Warehouses to
the extent of half a dozen afford splendid facilities for storing mer-
chandise, and the familiar phrase, "We are just out now," is seldom
heard in this establishment. Men who are experts in their lines have
charge of every department, and are always ready and willing to give
prospective purchasers the benefit of their experience. The department
which attracts probably the greatest attention, owing to the fact that
mining is the greatest of the industries in Yavapai, is the mine supply
department, and the ease with which supplies of all kinds may be ob-
tained at the B. & B. has been a decided advantage to the miners of
this section. The store is under the direct management of James A.
Hope, president, and H. D. Aiken, treasurer and first vice president,

both of whom are familiar with the business from the ground up.
Other prominent citizens interested in the company are F. M. Mur-
phy, R. N. Fredericks, C. A. Bray, and M. C. Hope. Progressive,
modern business methods have always marked the conduct of the af-
fairs of this company, and at no time in its career have more able men
been at the helm than at the present, and the future success of the
Bashford-Burmister Company seems assured.
JOHN T H. SLAUGHTER, pioneer cattle and ranch man, is one of
the state's most interesting and picturesque characters, whose
success in various undertakings has been a matter of common pride.
He was born on a plantation in Louisiana in the forties, and was
reared among the surroundings of a southern home, which he left at an
early age to seek fortune and adventure in the West. He first landed
in Texas, where he saw an opportunity offered for stock raising. Here
he set about getting a start in the cattle business and at the age of six-
teen possessed a considerable herd. While yet a young man the Civil
War broke out, and he was one of the first to enlist in the Confederate
Army. His career as a soldier was cut short by an unlimited fur-
lough owing to serious illness, but immediately upon his recovery he
enlisted with the Texas Rangers and was made a Lieutenant. With
this remarkable company he was active during much of the service
which made it justly celebrated, and many of the members who
served with Lieutenant Slaughter relate his stirring experiences and
daring deeds. During his career in Texas he battled with uncer-
tainties, twice amassing a fortune and twice losing all. The effect
of this adversity was but to bring out the grit and determination well
known in the Slaughter blood, without which the name would not
have figured so prominently in the development of the Southwest. In
1877 when gold was discovered in Arizona and the name of Tomb-
stone was everywhere spoken, Mr. Slaughter was attracted by the
new country, and believing that greater opportunities existed here
for wealth, drove his cattle overland to the San Pedro Valley, which
was his first permanent camping ground in Arizona. After inspecting
the country for a suitable range he purchased land in the Southeast
corner of the Territory, where he established the San Bernardino
Ranch. For 15 years following the surrounding country and even
portions of the ranch were never free from bands of hostile Indians,
and the utmost vigilance was necessary to prevent their uprising. Mr.
Slaughter struggled through this period with a firm and fearless de-
termination to hold the ground, and that he has succeeded is shown
by the passing of the redmen and the building up of one of the prettiest
spots in the great Southwest. In the year 1886 Mr. Slaughter was
escort to the late General Lawton, then Captain in the United States
Army, in the capture of the famous Apache chief, Geronimo, who later
surrendered on the San Bernardino Ranch. On many occasions later

Mr. Slaughter directed expeditions of the United States troops
through southern Arizona and northern Mexico, as no man better
knew the lurking places of the Indians, or better understood their
cunning, habits, and modes of warfare. He was also well known
to the Indians, and it was old Geronimo himself who said no life
should ever be taken on the San Bernardino Ranch. In 1887 Mr.
Slaughter was elected Sheriff of Cochise County on the Democratic
ticket, and in this capacity served two terms w r hich have gone down
in the history of Arizona as remarkable for the good accomplished.
During his ten years of office he brought to justice many desperadoes
who had been operating through the county, and many attempts were
made to entrap him and take his life, but in every case he outgeneraled
his foes. Mr. Slaughter has always been solicitous for the welfare of
Cochise County, ever ready to assist those upon whom the hand of
adversity has fallen, and foremost in ridding the country of outlaws
and cattle thieves, thereby encouraging the stock raising business.
Mr. Slaughter married Adeline Harris, daughter of Lesial Harris,
of San Angelo, Texas, one of the prominent men of that State. Mrs.
Slaughter died shortly after their removal to Arizona, leaving one
son, William J., who was associated with his father in business until
his death in 1911, and one daughter, Adeline, now the wife of Dr.
William Arnold Greene of Douglas. Mr. Slaughter later married
Miss Cora Viola Howell, a most lovable woman, who enjoys much
popularity, and who is a woman of rare public spirit. Mrs. Slaughtei
has been a most cheerful helpmate, charming and devoted, and much
of the extraordinary success which her husband has enjoyed may be
attributed to her native ability.
PRE-EMINENT in its line, housed in a magnificent stone building at
Tenth & "G" Streets, there is not a more complete, up-to-date store in
the state than that of The Douglas Drug Company. Its incorporators,
Dr. E. J. Huxtable and O. O. Hammill, are not only citizens of high
standing, but men who have received training which has thoroughly
fitted them for the business. The company was incorporated in 1905,
when they purchased the business of the Braum-Furgeson Company.
They have since doubled the capacity and more than doubled the busi-
ness of the firm. They carry a line of high grade drugs, to the selec-
tion and compounding of which most careful attention is given; a
varied line of stationery and a line of confectionery of which purity is
the keynote. And in the remarkable growth of their business, the un-
failing courtesy with which patrons are treated has proven not the
least important factor.
E. J. HUXTABLE, the President and General Manager of the Com-
pany, is a native of Canada, and son of James Huxtable, one of the
pioneers of the district in which he resided. He was the owner of a
large flour mill, and also held important official positions at various

times, including that of reeve of the township, a position similar to
that of mayor in our country, and warden of his county, Dufferin.
Dr. Huxtable first attended the common schools and later Colling-
wood Collegiate Institute, where he prepared for the work of teach-
ing, and this was his occupation for a time. He soon entered the
College of Pharmacy at Toronto, where he completed the work and
took a course at the University of Toronto, from which he was gradu-
ated with the degree Bachelor of Pharmacy, the equivalent of the
U. S. degree Doctor of Pharmacy. He soon went to Los Angeles
and for two years was head dispenser for one of the largest drug
firms in the city; following this he was employed for three years in
the drug store of the Hotel del Coronado, at Coronado Beach.
About that time, his health began to fail and he sought the drier
climate of Naco, Arizona, and there became associated with the
Braum-Ferguson Company, who placed him in charge of their store in
El Paso, Texas. His next move was to Douglas in his present ca-

is widely known in a fraternal way and is a member of the K. of P.,
Elks, Moose and Fraternal Brotherhood. Mrs. Huxtable, who was
Miss Adaline White, of West Point, Miss., is a descendant of the
Trotters and Whites, well known Southern families, both distinguish-
ed plantation owners and business people of that section, and was well
known in society at her home. There is still pending a claim of her
family against the government for 500 bales of cotton confiscated dur-
ing the War.
O. O. HAMMILL, Secretary and Treasurer of the Douglas Drug
Co., is also a native of Canada, having been born in Ontario in 1870,
and like his partner, was educated in the common schools, College of
Pharmacy and University of Toronto. He then went to Illinois, be-
came a registered druggist in the state, and secured a position as man-
ager of a large drug store in Chicago. Here he remained for several
years, and in 1901 came to Douglas, where he opened the store for the
Braum-Ferguson Co., which he later, in connection with Dr. Hux-
table, purchased. He is a member of the State Pharmacy Board. He
was the pioneer Shriner of Douglas, and helped organize the first Blue
Lodge Masons, of which he is a charter member. He is also a mem-
ber of the Elks, and is an active worker in each society. He has taken
a prominent part in affairs of the city, and at present is Chairman of
the Board of Education and member of the Board of Aldermen. He
is especially interested in the future citizens of Arizona and is Master
for the Boy Scouts in that section, his three years training in the
British Volunteers having enabled him to fill this position with entire
satisfaction. He married Miss Maude Pittiway, of Chicago. They
have two children, Ogden and Marion.
R. L. NEWMAN, proprietor of the Hotel Holbrook, is one of the
pioneers of Arizona and for a number of years was engaged in the
cattle business. During the past year he sold out and came to Hol-
brook, where he purchased the hotel. From the start he began im-
provements, and today the place is known over the southwest for the
excellence of the entertainment afforded. It is noted as the head-
quarters for tourists, having a first class garage in connection, and the
cleanliness and comfortable surroundings have made it a favorite
stopping place for the traveling public. It is conducted on the Euro-
pean plan, and has all the comfort of a home. The large hotel lobby,
filled with curios for which the country about Holbrook is noted, gives
it added charm, and the grounds having undergone a thorough clean-
ing and renovating, are as pleasant as could be desired.
Mr. Newman is married and has one daughter, Jennie, and one son,
Wesley.

ALFRED E. GILLARD, registered pharmacist and proprietor of the
Winslow Drug Store and the Palace Drug Company, is one of the
best known pharmacists and business men of the state. He has a
license as registered pharmacist in the States of Washington, Oregon
and Wisconsin, in all of which
he has been employed in this
work. Mr. Gillard was born
in 1876 at Cobourg, Ontario,
and was educated in the com-
mon schools, the Collegiate In-
stitute and Milwaukee Phar-
macy College. His paternal
grandfather was an officer in
the early Indian wars. Mr.
Gillard first went into the
drug business at Superior,
Wisconsin, about twelve years
ago, and later came west,
working for some time on the
coast in the northwest, then
came to Arizona in 1903, lo-
cated at Prescott, where he
was employed by Messrs. Bris-
ley & Litt for about one year
before becoming permanently
located in Winslow. His two
stores in this town are well
conducted and have an ex-
cellent reputation for fair dealing and for the great care w T ith which
the prescription department is managed. Mr. Gillard gives his per-
sonal attention to the Winslow Drug Co. store, and the Palace is in
charge of a capable pharmacist. Having two establishments, Mr.
Gillard is enabled to buy to more advantage and oftener, which is a
decided benefit to his patrons both in prices and in being able to obtain
fresher goods. A first class confectionery department and soda water
fountain are valuable additions to the Winslow store, and enjoy a
large patronage. Mr. Gillard has also other important business inter-
ests in the state. He was married in 1905 to Miss Anna Killorin, a
descendant of General Butler. They have one son, Frederick Butler
Gillard.
RYAN & Co., Inc., of Globe, is a firm whose career is a credit to its
management and to the city, and forms an interesting story of gradual
growth in the business world. The beginning of this popular estab-
lishment was in August, 1904, when William Ryan, now president of
the company, began business as a dealer in books, periodicals, station-
ery, etc., and from the beginning, by the application of good business
policy, original ideas and the force of his personality, seemed destined
436 WHO'S WHO
to make a success of his undertaking. The business has grown year by
year until it ranks among the foremost in its vicinity. It acquired its
present prestige by successive steps, each of which marked a new era,
and its continued policy of square dealing and anticipating the wants
of its patrons has insured the patronage of people who recognize com-
mercial merit. In August, 1907, J. J. Moloney, now secretary-treas-
urer of the company, became associated with Mr. Ryan and a line of
sporting goods, phonographs and records was added to the stock, which
included a complete line of guns and ammunition, while a special fea-
ture was made of baseball supplies. This department marked the sec-
ond step in the store's progress. The next year the company was in-
corporated and the drug and prescription department, under the care
of a capable registered pharmacist, was added. This department is of
a grade rather higher than is usually found in a city of less than fifty
thousand, and one of the most trustworthy and thorough in the South-
west. Its continually increasing patronage and the fact that those who
go to Ryan's once, go back again, is the best testimonial that the busi-
ness can offer to the public, and is the natural reward gained by the
carrying of a carefully selected stock and the courteous treatment ac-
corded its customers. In its rapid rise to prominence much must be
attributed to the financial integrity and genial spirit of the men who
are working harmoniously together to make their business the leading
one in the rapidly growing city of Globe.
WILLIAM RYAN, president of Ryan & Co., Inc., is really one of the
pioneer residents of Globe. He has a host of friends in that section of
the state, and to his wide acquaintance, pleasing personality and ability
to make friends is due no small part of the success of the firm. He has
always taken an active part in politics in Gila County, and is a factor
in the Republican party workings. He is a member of the Knights of
Columbus and has held several offices in the order. He is also well
known among the B. P. O. E., of which he is a member, as well as in
civic and social affairs. Mr. Ryan was married in Globe in 1883, and
is the father of four sons and two daughters, all of whom were born
and reared there.
JOE B. RYAN, son of William Ryan, is vice president of the firm,
one of its best working members, and highly esteemed in business and
social circles. He is one of the younger men of the city, but has be-
come one of its most substantial citizens. He was born in Globe and
educated there in the public schools and at the Military School at
Rosw T ell, N. M. Like his father, he is a keen, progressive business
man, and his courtesy and close attention to detail have done much for
the development of the firm. He is also a member of the Elks and
Knights of Columbus, and has been recently Deputy Grand Knight of
the latter order, as his efforts in that position during the preceding
year were of great benefit to the Council. Mr. Ryan is a prominent
member of the younger social set, one of the most popular young men
in the state, and bids fair to become one of Arizona's foremost citizens.

Phelps Dodge Mercantile Company
THE PHELPS DODGE MERCANTILE COMPANY was organized for
the purpose of taking over the mercantile interests of various mining
companies in Arizona and New Mexico owned by Phelps, Dodge &
Company. The transfer to the new corporation was effected Janu-
ary 1st, 1912, at which time there were acquired stores at Bisbee,
Douglas, Morenci, Lowell, Naco and Warren, Arizona, and Dawson,
New Mexico. So far as it concerned the general public, this change
meant to them nothing more than that of the corporate title, as the
business policy of the company remains undisturbed, being character-
ized by the same liberality and breadth of purpose as that on which
the various mining companies' stores were originally founded.
The companies' stores came into existence simultaneously with the
commencement of mining operations on a commercial basis at the
different camps, their inception being prompted by the necessity for
furnishing the employes of the mining companies and other residents
of the various localities with desirable merchandise at reasonable
prices. That their growth has kept pace with that of the commu-
nities in which the stores were established is attested by the constantly
increasing patronage with which the company is favored, as well as
by the class of buildings which it has found necessary to erect in order
to house these veritable bee-hives of industry. Visitors, upon enter-
ing the several stores, particularly those known as main stores, at
Bisbee, Douglas and Morenci, Arizona, and Dawson, New Mexico,
are agreeably surprised at the convenient arrangements of depart-
ments, each with its tastefully displayed wares, representing, as they
do, the careful and discriminating selections of buyers, each of whom
is a trained specialist in his own line. The surprise soon develops
into a feeling of complete satisfaction when one becomes more thor-
oughly acquainted with the conveniences and facilities extended to
customers in order that their shopping may be made for them a source
of pleasure rather than a task. In the departments catering
especially to the requirements of ladies, well appointed rest rooms are
provided, the furnishings being chosen with a view to inviting com-
plete repose and relaxation, while writing desks, with all the necessary
supplies in the way of stationery, etc., are provided by the company for
the convenience of its patrons, without cost. Telephones are main-
tained and their use placed exclusively at the disposal of shoppers.
Courtesy is the underlying principle upon which the company's deal-
ings w T ith its patrons are founded, and to this end the selling force is
recruited from among that class whose chief qualification for the
position is that they shall be competent to act in the capacity of
assistant to the purchaser. The general offices of the company are at
Bisbee, Arizona, and the New York office at 99 John street.

W. H. BROPHY, General Manager of the Phelps-Dodge Mercantile
Company, with headquarters at Bisbee, is one of the best examples of
the self-made business man in Arizona. Mr. Brophy was born in
Ireland October 12, 1863, and in Ireland he received his education.
His parents were Michael and Matilda Lawlor Brophy. At the
age of 17 he went to California, where he remained tw r o years, and
came to Arizona in 1883. He first spent some time on his brother's
ranch, and early in 1884 went to Bisbee, which has since been his
home. His first position there was with the Copper Queen Con-
solidated Mining Company as clerk, in whose employ he has gradually
advanced, as a reward of actual merit, until he reached his present
position, the Phelps-Dodge Mercantile Company being but a change
of name. In this capacity Mr. Brophy has under his jurisdiction
the entire string of stores operated by the Mercantile Company, the
IN ARIZONA
441
largest of which is at Bisbee, while others are at Lowell, Naco,
Douglas, Clifton, Morenci, and Dawson, New Mexico. All of these
stores are thoroughly up to date, well managed, with a large and well
pleased patronage, and sources of revenue to the owners. Mr. Bro-
phy's interests in other enterprises are such as carry with them a weight
of responsibility, and necessitate the exercise of sound and superior
judgment. He is President of The Bank of Bisbee, Vice President
of The Bank of Douglas and of the Douglas Investment Company,
Director of The Bank of Lowell, and holds an interest in the Bisbee
Improvement Company. He is also interested in many of the large
mining companies of Arizona and Mexico, and is a prominent figure
throughout the Southwest. Mr. Brophy is an active member of the
Knights of Columbus, and his generosity was an imporatnnt factor in
the erection of their building in Bisbee, which is a source of just pride
to the Order. He is also a charter and life member of the Bisbee
Lodge of Elks, and a member of the Los Angeles Athletic Club. He
was married in 1893 to Miss Ellen Amelia Goodbody, and they have
two children, Francis Cullen Brophy, who is attending school in New

WHO S WHO
Nasianceno Gonzales
NASIANCENO GONZALES, Representative from Apache County, is
one of the members who may always be found on the firing line when
matters of principle are involved, and his service in the First State
Legislature has the added value of the experience acquired by him
during two terms in the Territorial Assembly. Mr. Gonzales was
born in the neighboring State of New Mexico in 1867. He is prom-
inent in political circles, and wields a great influence in his section,
especially among the Spanish-Americans. He has served his county
as member of Board of Supervisors and Assistant Recorder, each for
two years. He has always been a recognized leader, and has been
interested in some of the greatest projects that have been developed irr
Arizona. He is at present Vice President of the Becker Mercantile
Company, of Springerville, Arizona, and in addition to his mercantile
interests he has been freighter, farmer and cattle man. In the Good
Roads movement he is an enthusiast, and has taken particular interest
in this phase of law-making. Mr. Gonzales received his education
IN ARIZONA
445
in the public schools of the State, and although he lacked the advan-
tages to be gained from a college course, he has been well equipped
and able to grasp and develop to its utmost every opportunity afforded
him. In the Legislature he has been deeply interested in the ad-
vancement of the public school system, and has introduced a bill pro-
viding for free text books. He has served on the Committee on
Education, as well as on the Good Roads and Public Lands Commit-
tees, and has been an ardent worker in the interest of each. Mr.
Gonzales married Miss Beatrice Peralta. They have one son,
Nasianceno, Jr., and one daughter, Lubertita.

HARRY BRISLEY was born on January 10, 1862, near Canterbury,
England. His father, Charles Brisley, was for forty consecutive
years postmaster of the largest parish in the County of Kent, and,
with his wife, Eliza, is still living and in good health at the age of
82 years. Two of his
uncles served in the
Union army, enlist-
ing from Ohio, and
one was killed in bat-
tle. Harry was one
of a family of nine
children ; the younger
six, seeing little
portunity ahead
them if they
mained in the
home, came one after
the other to the
United States, only
one of whom perma-
nently returned, and
the youngest of the
my i family was laid to
.V^ rest twenty-five years
L ago on the bluffs
xV^ /?* overlooking the St.
Croix River, in Min-
nesota. Having had
a commercial school
education, Mr. Bris-
ley was first em-
ployed at the age of 15 years as dispensary and surgery assistant to a
Scotch surgeon, and later legally articled by his father as apprentice
to a chemist and druggist of London. At the expiration of this term,
at the age of 20, he came first to Toronto, Canada, then joined an
W H O ' S WHO
older brother in Minnesota, and later went to Illinois, where he was
graduated from the Chicago College of Pharmacy, now affiliated with
the University of Illinois. Developing a weakness of the lungs and
happening upon a pamphlet issued by the Immigration Commissioner
of Arizona, he came directly to Phoenix in February, 1888, and
under the influence of Arizona air and sunshine and out of door
life he soon regained health and vigor. His first Arizona dollar was
earned by irrigating a young forest of cottonwoods planted under
desert land entry. This was very soon after supplemented by others
received for a good crop of beans, sweet potatoes and tomatoes planted
by his own hands. During this first year in the Salt River Valley
he frequently packed his blankets from one job of work to another,
sleeping, if night overtook him, under a tree by the canal side, or
resting "never so sweetly" on the hay in a Phoenix corral. In an
endeavor to remain out of the drug business he was successively cook
to farm hands, tender of bees on a bee ranch, carpenter at $2.50 per
day, and adjuster of collars and neckties upon a p'air of mules, and
from the latter job he was "fired" for physical and mechanical dis-
ability. By this time, the September sun being too ardent for
enjoyable exercise out of doors, he obtained steady employment with
the late Don Charles T. Hayden, of Tempe, as clerk in general mer-
chandise. In November of this first year in Arizona he was visited
by the lady to whom he had become engaged before leaving England,
and after a happy renewal of courtship days they were married at
Phoenix on December 16th by Rev. Dr. Pearson, one of the first
incumbents of the Episcopal Church at Phoenix. Mrs. Brisley is a
lineal descendant of Sir Edward Pinchon, who, about 1575, was a
prominent figure in her native county of Essex, and a monument in
his honor is today a work of art adorning one of the old churches of
the country side. One of his immediate descendants became one of the
settlers of Springfield, Massachusetts, and his name has been given
to one of its streets and one of its banks. In 1889 Mr. and Mrs.
Brisley removed to Prescott, purchased an interest in a pharmacy,
and have resided there since, excepting during two or three visits
made to their home land. Two children have blessed their union
Mabel Evelyn, aged 20, and Harold Roy, aged 17. On locating at
Prescott, one of Mr. Brisley's first acts was to take out full citizen-
ship papers, and a number of years later, on the formation of a local
militia company, believing it to be the duty and privilege of every
able-bodied man to have military training for the organized support
of his country, he joined as one of the rank and file, served a term
of three years, gained the badge of a marksman, and enjoyed the
experience of acting as a unit of a fighting machine, marching shoulder
to shoulder with mighty good comrades. Being one of the earliest
graduated and registered druggists in Arizona, he was for several
years the sole representative here of the American Pharmacuetical
Association. On the passage of the Pharmacy Act, he was appointed
IX ARIZ X A
4-17
a member of the first Board of Pharmacy by Governor Brodie, and
acted as examiner in chemistry under three governors, until the
present time. He is a registered pharmacist in Illinois, Minnesota
and Arizona. Mr. Brisley is a member of the Masonic, Odd Fellows,
Fraternal Brotherhood and Mystic Circle Lodges, while in the St.
Luke's Church, Prescott, he has served for several years as Treasurer
and Junior Warden.
William Morgan
WILLIAM MORGAN, member of the Sheep Sanitary Commission,
is one of the most conspicuous examples of self-made man to be found
in Arizona. He was born in Chicago August 11, 1857, and lived
there until he was eighteen years old. Mr. Morgan's entire
education was received in the public schools of that city, but having
lost his father at an early age, he began earning his livelihood when
quite a boy. His first position was as messenger boy, and later he
was employed for several years in the stock yards about the city.
When eighteen he went to Texas and for two years was employed
herding sheep near San Antonio. In October, 1879, he came to
Arizona and located at Show Low, then in Apache County, where he
was again employed as sheep herder for several years, when he en-
448
WHO S WHO
gaged in the sheep business for himself, and with exceptional success.
Since, he has devoted practically his entire life to this industry. Mr.
Morgan is well qualified for a place on the Sheep Sanitary Com-
mission, and his suprior judgment in matters brought before them
should be an invaluable aid. Mr. Morgan has been a life-long Dem-
ocrat, and has filled a number of important political positions locally,
and in the County and State. He w r as first Justice of the Peace for
four years, and has served as Supervisor of Navajo County seven and
one-half years, having been first appointed to the office and subse-
quently elected to succeed himself. In the Territorial Legislature
he served two terms in the Assembly and one term in the Council
from Navajo, and in each session was a member of important com-
mittees and proved an effective worker. He w T as also a member of
the Constitutional Convention. Personally Mr. Morgan is generous
and public spirited, a valued member of society, and has made hosts
of friends throughout Arizona.
Charles B. Keppler
CHARLES B. KEPPLER, Chief Deputy to Sheriff John Patty of
Greenlee County, was born in San Angelo, Texas, July 2, 1877. He
was reared and educated in New Mexico, however, as the family re-
moved there when Charles was but a small boy. His first occupa-
tion was mining and prospecting, which he followed in both New
Mexico and Arizona, and in this State he has also been interested in
IN ARIZONA
449
ranching. Mr. Keppler came to Arizona and located in what is
now Greenlee County, in 1893. In 1902 Sheriff Parks appointed
him one of his deputies, and until 1908 he was thus employed, having
during this time made a record that can scarcely be excelled for
ability, keenness and perseverance. During the term of Sheriff
English, Mr. Keppler returned to ranching, but when John D. Patty
was elected Sheriff of the County, he appointed Mr. Keppler his chief
deputy, despite the fact that Sheriff Patty was elected on the Repub-
lican ticket, and Mr. Keppler is a consistent Democrat. The ap-
pointment was made February 15, Statehood Day. One of the feats
which has been notable in Deputy Sheriff Keppler's career is the trail-
ing of the men who killed two deputies, the chase having included a
large part of New Mexico before he succeeded in capturing them.
He has practically been in charge of the field work In the county dur-
ing this administration. Air. Keppler is a member of trie Eagles and
the W. O. W. He was married April 14, 1913, to Miss Dona C.
George, of Carlsbad, New T Mexico, and they make their home in
Clifton.
LEO FREDERICK VERKAMP, Secretary of the Hart Cattle Company
and Tyler Sheep Company, is one of the most thorough cattle and
sheep men in Arizona today. For several years he was with Babbitt
Brothers, of Flagstaff, holding positions in various capacities, and is
now one of the firm's financial advisers. Mr. Verkamp also has an
interest in the Flagstaff Lumber Company. He was born in Cincin-
nati in 1879, where his father, Gerhard Verkamp, was one of that
city's old-time merchants. Gerhard Verkamp came to this country
without means when but a boy, and at the time of his death had reared
a family of eleven children, and by dint of his own effort had become a
thoroughly successful business man. His industry, ability and in-
tegrity have been passed on in a notable degree in the members of his
family, especially in his sons, John and Leo. Leo Verkamp was
educated in Cincinnati, and graduated from the St. Xavier's Jesuit
College with a B. A. degree. When only tw y enty-five he was elected
mayor of Flagstaff by a large majority, and administered the affairs
of the city as he would those of an individual, giving a clean, economic
administration, although the youngest mayor in the country. He is
an active Republican, and deeply interested in the affairs of his party,
and for two terms has been chairman of the Central Committee of
Coconino County. He is also prominent in fraternal life, a member
of the Knights of Columbus, Elks and Eagles. He is an able after
dinner talker, and w T ell known as one of the best toastmasters within
the State. Genial of disposition, a good mixer and a man of much
experience, Leo Verkamp is favorably known throughout the South-
west. His present home is in Flagstaff, where three of his sisters are
the wives of three of the well known Babbitt family.

WHO S \V H O
W. S. McKNiGHT, Sheriff of Santa Cruz County, is one of the
best known peace officials in the state, even though he has been in
office less than two years and is serving his first term. His work in the
capture of the border sneak thieves and shop lifters at Nogales and
the capture of many
hundreds of dollars
worth of their plunder
gave him prominence
among the officials of
the entire state. He
was born on an Illinois
farm and educated in
the common schools of
Illinois. In 1887 he
came to Arizona and
has been here ever
since, having been a
resident of Santa Cruz
County when that
county was cut off
from Pima. He has
had a variety of occu-
pations, as cowboy,
miner, rancher, and in
fact in almost every
line of business, and he
brought to his present
position a great fund
of experience, as well
as wide knowledge of the County and State, which were of valuable
aid in his official capacity. Sheriff McKnight is the son of William
P. and Eva Buck McKnight, both of whom were born and raised in
Illinois, his ancestors having been pioneers of the state. He married
Geneva Villa, a member of one of the best known families of Cali-
fornia. To the union have been born nine children, eight of whom
<re living, five sons and three daughters. During his twenty-fiv*
years' residence in Arizona Sheriff McKnight has made a large circle
of friends, and demonstrated his immense popularity by polling the
largest number of votes of any member of the official family in the
county. He takes an active part in the social, fraternal and civic life
of the community. He is a member of the A. O. U. W. and the Odd
Fellows. Importuned to seek the office by his friends, he accepted
against his will, but once in the fight made a thorough campaign of
the county, and since assuming the duties of the office has performed
the work in a manner which has been most satisfactory to all except
the law breakers of the county.

JOSEPH WILEY AKER, Superintendent of the Schools of Greenlee
County, was born in Grant County, Va., July 7, 1881. His father,
A. D. Aker, died the next year, leaving five children who were soon
forced to support and
educate themselves with
the aid of a devoted
mother. Their efforts
in this respect have been
well rewarded, as two
of his brothers are suc-
cessful ministers and the
remaining one a teacher.
Their only sister died at
an early age. When but
1 7 years old, Wiley Akei
joined the 4th Tennes-
see Volunteers and spent
four months in active
service in Cuba. Hav-
ing been mustered out he
returned to his home,
and proceeded to the coal
fields of West Virginia,
where he was employed
until in 1901 in a wreck
he lost his right hand
and right foot. The fol-
lowing September he be-
gan attending school at Princeton, W. Va., continued studying and
in 1906 was graduated with a B. S. degree from Emory & Henry Col-
lege. He next went to Lordsburg, N. M., where he served three
years as minister of the M. E. Church, and was married to Rae
Miller, a music teacher of that town. In 1909 he took charge of
the M. E. Church at Clifton, Arizona, and when Greenlee County
was organized in 1910, he was elected to the position he now holds,
when he resigned his work in the ministry. For the present term
he was elected by a large majority. Mr. Aker helped make the first
school law of the State, and at a meeting of school officials at Tucson
in 1912 was made a member of the committee to get up a course in
moral instruction for the pupils of the State. Mr. Aker is deeply
interested in school work. He is also author of several short stories,
and one book of fiction, which is now in course of publication in New
York City. His family consists of three sons, Malcome M., Cecil E.
and Greenlee M. Mr. and Mrs. Aker are interested workers in
all church and educational affairs.

ALVAN W. HOWE, Deputy Sheriff of Cochise County, though not
a native of Arizona, has been a resident of Dear Old Cochise since
he was but eight years old, when the family removed to the Territory.
While still a young man, he is one of the oldest peace officers in point
of service in Arizona, and has taken more people to the penitentiary
and to the insane asylum than any other officer in the State. Mr.
Howe was born in Chicago November 25, 1873, and October 8, 1881,
landed in Tombstone. His parents, Henry G. and Louise Willett
Allie Howe
Howe, were among the pioneers of Tombstone, and the former was
for many years Surveyor of Cochise County. A mining and civil
engineer by profession, he practiced in Arizona many years, and helped
in the location of many of the greatest mines. The first daily paper
started in Bisbee, The Daily Orb, was the property of Allie Howe,
and later being consolidated with The Review, became one of the
strongest papers in Arizona. After having completed the course !n
the public schools of Arizona, Allie went to Pomona College, where
he spent three years taking a special course. He has held numerous
positions in the court house, but is best known as a Deputy Sheriff,
having held a commission under every Sheriff during the past seven-
teen years. Mr. Howe was married at Bisbee in July, 1902, to Miss
Ella Sheppard, a native of San Francisco, whose parents had moved
to that place. They make their home in Tombstone.

THOMAS M. WILLS, chairman of the Board of Supervisors of Final
County, is one of the pioneers whose energetic career has done so much
to make Arizona one of the greatest states in the union. His father
was Harrison Roland Wills and his mother Rachel Elizabeth Gann.
Thomas Wills was born January 17, 1866, in Mariposa County, Cali-
fornia, but when he w r as very young the family moved to Bakersfield,
California, where his father engaged in the stock business and became
prominent on account of his business qualifications and his strong per-
Thomas M. Wills
sonality. Thomas Wills was educated in California, and coming to
Arizona July 5, 1883, he settled in Agua Caliente. He lived there
about a year, then moved to San Pedro, where he has since lived, ex-
cept for a short time in 1892 when he was with the Arizona Charley
Wild West Show, which started for the World's Fair in Chicago and
was a big advertisement for Arizona. Soon after coming to this state
Wills became a stockman and rancher and has succeeded until today
he is one of the big men in his line in the state. He was almost
forced into public life and in 1900 was elected for a two years' term as
supervisor. At the end of this term he was elected for a four year
454
\V H S WHO
term as sheriff. He was afterward elected twice for a four year term
as supervisor and during two years of the first term was chairman of
the board, which position he now fills. In 1910 he was elected to the
Constitutional Convention. Mr. Wills is a member of Tucson Lodge
No. 385 of the Elks, being one of the oldest members of this order in
the state. He is also a 32nd degree Mason and a member of the
Mystic Shrine. In 1895 Mr. Wills married Miss Elizabeth C.
Chamberlain.
A. J. HEAD, pioneer of Hassayampa, and president of Head Lum-
ber Company, has cut more timber in Arizona than any other one
man. He is not only a builder by profession but a constructor
through force of habit. He was one of the first mill men in Arizona,
having come here by stage in 1876. He comes of a line of machin-
ists, brought to Arizona considerable experience as a mill man, and
when the great mills were started at Hassayampa was foreman of the
Clark and Adams mills for several years. He was born on an Ala-
bama plantation in 1848, and having attended little country district
schools, his educational advantages were very limited. His father
died at Mobile in the Confederate Army in 1864. He continued to
work on the cotton plantation until 1870, when he engaged in saw
mill work with his uncle in the southern part of the state, and for
six years continued to work in and about saw mills in Alabama and
Florida. He left Florida in June, 1876, and arrived in Prescott,
August 4th, where his first job was making hay with a hoe near
Camp Verde for government post, after which he carried a hod for one
week, and moulded brick for one month, when he secured work at his
regular occupation, as head sawyer in a saw mill, and has been in that
and lumber business since, except frcm 1886 to 1890, when he was
postmaster of Prescott. During this time he bought a 'ranch, improved
it, and sold it at a good profit. He built the Prescott postoffice building,
as well as many other notable buildings in the city, and is owner of
the Head Hotel, a theater and much other valuable property. The
Head Hotel, Prescott, which is conducted mainly by Mrs. Head, is
one of the most thoroughly comfortable in Arizona. The rooms are
large, airy and well kept, and each one has running water both hot and
cold. It is conveniently and pleasantly located, and is consequently
one of the most popular hotels in the section for permanent or tran-
sient trade. Mrs. Head, who prior to her marriage in 1884, was Miss
Susie Tigh, is a native of Wisconsin. She was well known as a pio-
neer of the territory and was known throughout Arizona as one of
the first teachers at Ash Fork and one of the best educated w r omen in
the territory. She is a graduate of the State Normal School at Platte-
ville, Wisconsin. They have one daughter, Viva, who has been gradu-
ated from the New England Conservatory of Music, Boston, and has
been in Europe for the past two years studying grand opera.

ANDREW THOMPSON HAMMONS, cashier of the Old Dominion
Commercial Company, of Globe, Arizona, was born in Angelina
County, Texas, March 7, 1868. In 1877, his father, J. T. Hammons,
an attorney of note, removed to Eastland County, Texas. Here he
was elected Judge of the Coun-
ty Court by popular vote, and
served in this capacity for six
years. Judge Hammons was an
excellent pleader and public
speaker, and was generally ac-
knowledged the leading orator
of Northwest Texas. Among
his admirers he was mentioned
for U. S. Senator. He is still
living in Texas, but being ad-
vanced in age, has retired to
private life. Andrew Thomp-
son Hammons was elected Clerk
of the District Court of his
county at the age of 21 years,
and held this office for three suc-
cessive terms. He came to
Globe, Arizona, in the spring of
1900 and immediately went to
work in the Old Dominion
Mines, where for two years he
served in various capacities,
from mucker to ore sorter, and
when he left the mines he rank-
ed as an expert on the ores of
the district. In the fall of 1902
he was appointed cashier of The
Old Dominion Commercial
Company, one of the largest
banking and commercial com-
panies in Arizona, and has been
in their employ continuously
from that time. In addition to attending to the duties of his position
as cashier, he is at the present time acting as assistant to the general
manager, Governor George W. P. Hunt, and during the absence of
Governor Hunt made necessary by his duties at the capitol, Mr.
Hammons has assumed entire charge of the affairs of the corporation.
He is also a heavy stockholder in various mining enterprises, and
president of the Manitou Hill Copper Company and the Five Points
Copper Mining Company. As a business man Mr. Hammons has
been a thorough success from every viewpoint and is held in highest
esteem among the public with whom he has dealt for more than
\V H()S W H O
twenty years, having by his integrity, veracity and firmness won their
implicit confidence. He has ever chosen to retrace a false step rather
than pursue a shadow, and this is probably the keynote of his success,
material and otherwise, and has undoubtedly enabled him to get
ahead. Socially Mr. Hammons stands in the front ranks. He has
attained the highest degree in Freemasonry, is a member of the Odd
Fellow, Knights of Pythias and Elks, in all of which he is promi-
nently known. Politically he is a Progressive Democrat, a great ad-
mirer of Champ Clark and the principles which he advocates, and has
been a member of the Democratic Central Committee for the past
eight years, having served as chairman of that committee for two
terms. Mrs. Hammons, who was Miss Harriet A. Baker, of Onar-
ga, 111., is also well and favorably known in Globe, where she takes a
prominent part in church and social matters. She is the daughter of
Colonel H. P. Baker, who went to Illinois from the East in the early
"Go-West" days and became the owner of prairie land that is today
worth many times its original cost, and has proven a very profitable
investment for Colonel Baker. Mr. and Mrs. Hammons have two
daughters, Edith and Dorothy. Miss Edith has been attending an
eastern seminary from which she is about to graduate as valedictorian
of her class; and Miss Dorothy is attending the high school of Globe,
their home town, preparatory to taking an advanced course in the east.
Vic E. HANNY, whose slogan, "//' you don't knoic fie Hanny you
ought to," has made the originator one of the best known figures in
Arizona, and his unique methods of advertising, in which catchy slo-
gans dealing with common sense and backed up by honest methods and
fair values has made his store one of the best known and most popular
men's clothing and furnishing stores in the state. Mr. Hanny arrived
in Phoenix about a quarter of a century ago, but soon left for Tucson.
He came to Arizona with plenty of confidence, a pleasing personality
and a determination to make a success of the clothing business, and to
this end worked in various capacities, including salesman, clerk and
drummer, having covered Arizona on the road for several years, mak-
ing acquaintances and a reputation as a booster. He was first associ-
ated in Tucson with Harry A. Drachman in the shoe business, and
later in the firm of Brannen & Hanny. That his confidence in his
ability to make good was well founded has been proven by the fact
that he has now one of the finest stores of its kind in the Southwest,
and a business that is growing. Vic Hanny received his education
mainly by contact with the world and in the school of experience. Al-
though he enjoys a large acquaintance and many friends in the many
cities in which he has resided, he has never held any public office. As
member of the Pima County Republican Central Committee, he took
a prominent part in politics, but the urging of his friends and the im-
portuning of the party leaders were futile in their efforts to have him

ROBERT L. PINYAN, chief of police of Globe, Arizona, and assessor
and tax collector ex-officio, is a native of Arkansas, having been born
at Pea Ridge, in 1869. He is the son of George W. and Nancy Daw-
son Pinyan. Mr. Pinyan was educated in the common schools of Ar-
kansas and Colorado. He came to
Arizona in 1900, located at Globe
and commenced work as a miner
with the United Globe Mining
Company. He showed such marked
ability that he was promoted several
times and held the position of fore-
man when he was appointed chief of
police. After having served a short
term by appointment he announced
himself as a candidate in the primary
election, and from a field of nine re-
ceived a large majority, his work
having been so satisfactory that the
business and professional men of the
town united and worked for his elec-
tion. He is chairman of the board of
school trustees, and will have charge
of the erection of a high school with-
in the next year. During his term
of office the improvements in the
Globe city schools have been marked
and the system at the present time is
considered one of the best in the
state. Chief Pinyan is not only one
of the ablest officers in the state and leader in the civic life of Globe,
but is also prominent in fraternal circles, being a member of the Elks
and Mystic Circle. He was united in marriage with Miss Ellen Bal-
mear, of Animas City, Colorado, and to the union have been born four
bright and interesting children, two boys, Charles and Leslie, and two
girls, Ruth and Sunshine.
TRAVELERS in Northern Arizona no longer dread the trip to St.
Johns, as the Holbrook and Springerville Stage line, on which three
Stanley Steamers are used, is now rated as one of the best in the
Southwest, and the ride is considered a pleasure. The automobiles
leave Holbrook daily, making the trip one way, each day, while an
extra car is kept in reserve at all times. The route is through Wood-
ruff, Hunt, Concho and St. Johns to Springerville. The machines
are in the hands of competent drivers, who are also mechanicians and
the old fear of an accident loses its terror on the new line. Parks
Brothers, who control the line, have spared no expense to make the
ARIZONA
459
service first class and throughout the state the reputation they have
established by the manner in which they conduct the line is enviable.
The automobile leaves the Holbrook Hotel every day at 9 :30 a. m.
and arrives in Springerville before supper time. The roads have been
put into good condition and the trip, often taken by tourists as a re-
creation, is becoming more* popular with continued success. The low
rate, $13.00 for the round trip, makes the trip one of the cheapest of
its kind in the state, and the lack of railroad connections to the county
seat of Apache is but little missed at present.
BENJAMIN BROWN, live stock dealer and real estate man, has with-
out doubt handled more cattle and sheep than any other man in
Northern Arizona, during the 32 years he has been in the state,
having come here in 1880. He not only handles many sheep and
cattle but has also been active in
the handling of ranches and other
real estate. Three brothers came
to Holbrook, spent the winter
along the Colorado and later mov-
ed south. Mr. Brown then went to
Nutrioso in the spring of 1881,
started in the cattle and lumber
business and has been actively en-
gaged in different pursuits since
that time. He brought the first
sawmill to the head of the Colo-
rado River, hauling it in from
Utah with teams. He manufac-
tured lumber for a score of years
and after he retired his descend-
ants took up the business and are
still engaged in the work. He is
the father of nine children, eight
girls and one son, eight of whom
are living, and Mr. Brown is the
grandfather of 35 grandchildren,
and nine great-grandchildren. Al-
though nearly three score and ten
Mr. Brown is hale and hearty
and still as active as his grand-
children. His parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Lorenzo Brown, crossed the plains with the Mormon caravan
in 1848, and after having played an active part in the development of
the state of Utah, came to Arizona, where both died several years
ago. They were both exiled with other members of their faith from
Nauvoo, 111., in the early forties, Mr. Brown being but a babe when

the colony was expelled. Although without political aspiration, he
has often been urged to accept political offices, hut preferred to attend
to his home duties, and the different enterprises to which he gave
attention, but he has been a power in the Democratic party.
M. C. HANKINS, mayor of the City of Douglas, was born in Cald-
well County, Texas, August 5, 1877, and is the son of Lola G. and
John M. Hankins. His parents having been in moderate circum-
stances, he received his education entirely in the public schools and at
the age of sixteen, was com-
pelled to begin earning his
own living. His first posi-
tion was with a general mer-
cantile establishment near his
home, with whom he remain-
ed seven years. In Decem-
ber, 1900', he left for Ari-
zona and landed in Bisbee.
Having been unable to secure
employment in his accustom-
ed line, he took a position
with the Copper Queen Com-
pany at the smelter, and has
been in their employ almost
continuously since that time.
He now holds the position of
assistant foreman of the re-
duction works at Douglas.
Air. Hankins has always
been an interested worker in
political matters for his party
but has never held an elec-
tive position, having been ap-
pointed to his present position of mayor to fill the unexpired term of
J. H. Baker, resigned. He is also County Chairman of the Demo-
cratic Central Committee, and these constitute the only political hon-
ors ever bestowed upon him. Mr. Hankins is also actively interested
in fraternal affairs, is a member of the Elks, Odd Fellows, and Wood-
men of the World, and has held the position of Council Commander
of the latter association. He is married and has one daughter, Lola
Emma Hankins.
THE ARIZONA LUMBER & TIMBER COMPANY is one of Northern
Arizona's largest and most notable industries which emerged from an
enterprise whose history is the history of Flagstaff, and dates back to
the year 1882. In that year Edward Aver, of Chicago, began to build
a mill there. The Aver Lumber Company was soon formed, but was
IN ARIZONA
later disposed of to D. M. Riordan, who carried on the business under
the title of The Arizona Lumber Company. In July, 1887, this mill
in the wilderness was destroyed by fire, but the capital and enterprise
behind the new management were soon manifested, order was evolved
out of chaos, and a new and improved mill erected on the old site.
The title of the company was then changed to The Arizona Lumber
& Timber Company. Under the new conditions a decided increase of
business resulted and their success was continuous until 1898, when
another fire occasioned extremely heavy losses during their busiest sea-
son. Once again, however, negotiations were entered into for the re-
building of the plant, the plans for the new one aiming to make it the
finest sawmill in the West and one of the most complete in the world,
in the construction of which every known precaution against fire was
taken. Since the completion of this modern plant, the business of the
company has continued to increase and its trade now extends not only
throughout Arizona but through the adjacent territory in the United
States and Mexico. The Arizona Lumber & Timber Company also
owns and controls the Central Arizona Railroad Company, through
ownership of stock. In addition to the lumber business the members
of the company are also interested in stock raising.
CHARLES A. GREENL^W, manager of the Greenlaw Lumber Com-
pany, of Flagstaff, w T as born at St. Stephens, New Brunswick, in
1855, but was reared and educated in the State of Maine, where the
family removed when he was very young. Brought up in the midst
of a purely lumber country, he became thoroughly familiar with every
detail of the business, and was thereby fitted in a practical way for his
present position. Mr. Greenlaw went to Minneapolis in 1877, where
he was engaged in lumber business for three years, when he moved
further west and lumbered on the divide in Colorado. He came to
Flagstaff in 1882, before the railroad was run through, and for sev-
eral years was identified with the Ayer Lumber Company, but in 1886
he formed a partnership with his brother, E. F. Greenlaw, under the
firm name of Greenlaw Brothers, who had a large mill and became
contractors for the Arizona Lumber & Timber Company. From the
firm of Greenlaw Brothers was finally evolved the present firm of
Greenlaw Lumber Company, which is one of the most substantial and
prosperous enterprises of its kind in the state. In politics he is
Republican, and has served one term as member of the Board
of Supervisors. Mr. Greenlaw is prominently known in the Masons,
Odd Fellows and Elks. He was married in 1883 to Miss Eleanor
Lamport, and they have one of the finest homes in Flagstaff. Their
family consists of two sons and four daughters. The oldest son, Eben,
is associated with the Greenlaw Lumber Company.

and is the son of James and Naomi Douglas. Mr. Douglas received
his education at Upper Canada, Morrin, and the Royal Military
Colleges, all of Canada, and took a post graduate course in the School
of Mines of Columbia University, New York. He came to Arizona in
1890, when he became Engineer of the Commercial Mining Co. of
Prescott ; in 1892 he became associated with the Consolidated Kansas
City Smelting & Refining Co. as metallurgist, but in 1894 returned
to Arizona and has since been associated with the Phelps, Dodge &
Co. interests, of which he was made General Manager in 1910. Be-
ing unable to secure proper concessions from the large railroads in
the southwest, the interests which he represented, under his direction,
built their own lines, the El Paso & Southwestern, the only road of
its length that was built without a floating debt. Mr. Douglas is
Vice President of this road ; President of the El Paso & Southwestern
R. R. of Texas, of the Mexico & Colorado R. R., Second Vice Presi-
dent of the El Paso & Northeastern, and is director in a number of
enterprises in Arizona and New Mexico. He is a member of the

STUART W. FRENCH, General Manager of the Copper Queen
Consolidated Mining Company, has been associated with the Com-
pany since 1899, w r hen he came to Bisbee to accept a position as As-
sistant Superintendent. Mr. French was born in Dansville, N. Y.,
in 1867, and is the son of B. W. and Martha Brown French. Most
of his early life was spent in Chicago, however, where his father was
General Manager of one of the large Insurance Companies. In Chi-
cago Mr. French attended the public schools, and prepared in the
High School for admission to Amherst College, from which he was
graduated in 1889. He returned then to Chicago and took a position
with the Home Fire Insurance Company. Later he established a
local and general agency of his own, and in partnership with others
was engaged in the insurance business until he came to Arizona. In
1904, when a change was instituted in the organization of the Copper
Queen Consolidated Mining Company, Mr. French w r as made As-
sistant General Manager, and in 1910 was promoted to his present
position. He is also an officer and director in the Improvement Com-

JOHX CAMPBELL GREEXWAY, general manager of the Calumet &
Arizona Mining Company, Warren, Arizona, was born in Huntsville,
Alabama, July 6, 1872, the son of Dr. Gilbert Christian Greenway
and Alice (White) Greenway. He is descended of a notable line of
Southerners, his father and grandfather having been soldiers under the
Confederate flag. Isaac Shelby, first Governor of Kentucky, and Capt.
John Campbell, of King's Mountain fame, are two members of the
family whose names stand out conspicuously in the history of Colonial
days.
Mr. Greenway, who ranks today with the world's greatest mine
managers, had splendid educational advantages, but to this he added
practical experience which has fitted him for his present place in the
mining world. He was graduated from the Episcopal High School at
Alexandria, Virginia, then entered Andover Academy at Andover,
Massachusetts. He attended the University of Virginia and from
there went to Yale University, where he received his technical train-
ing. He w T as a conspicuous figure in Yale from his freshman year,
when he was chosen a member of the "University" football team. He
was graduated with the degree of Ph. B. ; was voted president of his
class, also the most popular man. He played right end on the famous
McCormick and Hinkey football elevens of 1892 and 1893 and was
catcher for the famous "Dutch" Carter on the Varsity baseball nines
of those years, an athletic career which is part of the history of the
university.
Upon leaving college, Mr. Greenway sought to learn the practical
side of the steel business, beginning at the very bottom. His first em-
ployment was as helper in the Duquesne furnaces of the Carnegie Steel
Company, where he worked for a dollar and thirty-two cents per day.
In time he was advanced to the post of foreman of the mechanical
department and was thus engaged when the Spanish-American war
was declared in 1898.
Leaving his work, he hastened alone to San Antonio, Texas, and
there enlisted as a private in the famous Rough Rider Regiment, of
which Theodore Roosevelt was colonel. He served throughout the
war with his regiment, and brief though those hostilities were, was
twice promoted, on one occasion for "bravery and gallantry in action".
He was promoted to Second Lieutenant, and at the battle of San Juan
Hill was advanced to First Lieutenant because of the extraordinary
courage displayed by him in that historic engagement. He was also
recommended to Congress by Colonel Roosevelt for the brevet of
466
WHO S WHO
Captain John C. Greenway
IN A R I Z O N A 467
Captain. In his history of the "Rough Riders," Colonel Roosevelt
paid a splendid tribute to Captain Greenway, referring to him as
"A strapping fellow, entirely fearless, modest and quiet, with the
ability to take care of the men under him so as to bring them to the
highest point of soldierly perfection, to be counted upon with absolute
certainty in every emergency; not only doing his duty, but always on
the watch to find some new duty which he could construe to be his,
ready to respond with eagerness to the slightest suggestion of doing
something, whether it was dangerous or merely difficult and laborious."
Returning from Cuba with a splendid war record, Greenway re-
entered the steel business and after a year was appointed Assistant Su-
perintendent of the United States Steel Corporation's mines at Ishpem-
ing, Michigan. His work in this connection was of such high calibre,
that when the Steel Corporation purchased of J. J. Hill the Great
Northern Iron Ore lease on the Mesaba Range in Northern Minne-
sota, he was chosen for the post of General Superintendent of the un-
dertaking. This, by the way, was one of the most extensive opera-
tions ever launched by the great corporation, and Mr. Greenway's
conduct of it was a personal triumph almost as celebrated as the fa-
mous Hill ore lands themselves.
Going to the range in the late summer of 1906, Captain Greenway
located the town of Coleraine on the shore of a picturesque lake and
began the work immediately. His entire stay in that region was char-
acterized by a perfection of organization in which regard for the hun-
dreds of men who worked under him was mingled with a strict disci-
pline which made the enterprise one of the great industrial successes of
this generation. In addition to the actual work of superintending the
operation of the plant, Captain Greenway also served as monitor of
the town and its people. He encouraged home building, governed
the place with an iron hand in the matter of gambling and other forms
of dissipation and in addition, caused the installation of various utili-
ties and numerous public conveniences. These latter included a li-
brary, a perfectly equipped hospital, a school building costing $75,000,
an athletic field and extensive parks. His other public services in-
cluded his inducing the Steel Corporation to install the sewer, water
and light systems of the town without expense to the employees.
A writer in "The World Today," referring to him and his work on
the Mesaba Range, characterized him :
"A man of exemplar}' habits, who inhibits dissipation by example;
a tireless worker, this man who does things is of that new type of
Americans who can serve corporations and at the same time serve their
day and generation."
Upon the completion of his work in the Mesaba region, Captain
Greenway, 1910, accepted the appointment as General Manager of the
mining operations of the Calumet & Arizona Mining Company of
Bisbee, Arizona. His offices are located at Warren, a suburb of Bis-

bee, and in the handling of the affairs of the company he has displayed
the same talent for effective organization and telling results that dis-
tinguished him in his previous work.
The Calumet & Arizona Mining Company is the lustiest young
copper giant of Arizona, now ranking as the tenth largest copper pro-
ducer in the world and just beginning to get into its stride. The
Calumet & Arizona Mining Company is the only large copper com-
pany in Arizona not running its own stores and railroad, considering
it both a fair and let-live policy to leave such side issues to others.
The Calumet & Arizona Mining Company is now building the
most modern smelter in the world for its increasing tonnage of Bisbee
ores, at Douglas, and under Mr. Greenway's aggressive management
is acquiring additional properties of promise in many Arizona camps.
In addition to his professional work, Captain Greenway has taken
an active personal interest in public affairs and while he has never
been a seeker for public office, has been a steadfast supporter of Colonel
Roosevelt in political matters. The two men became close personal
friends during their army days and this has lasted, growing steadily
stronger.
Mr. Greenway was one of the sponsors of the National Progres-
sive Party and was one of the self-constituted committee which
brought that party into being by inviting and personally escorting
Colonel Roosevelt to the Progressive National Convention held in
Orchestra Hall, in Chicago in June, 1912.
He was nominated by the Progressive Party as presidential elector
of the State of Arizona, was a member of the Board of Regents of the
University of Arizona, is President of the Yale Alumni Association of
Arizona, President of the Warren District Country Club and a
member of the Sons of the American Revolution.
PERCY GORDON BECKETT, general manager of the Old Dominion
Copper Mining & Smelting Co., Globe, Arizona, is a mining engineer
of much ability and varied experience. He was born in Quebec, Can-

employed by the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining Company in
their engineering department at Bisbee. In 1906 he went to the
Phelps Dodge Sierra de Cobre property at Cananea, Mexico, where he
remained for one year, and then went to South America as mine super-
intendent of the Capillitas Copper Company of Argentine, spent one
year in this position and returning to Bisbee, re-entered the employ of
the Copper Queen. In 1909 and 1910 he was superintendent for the
Phelps Dodge Company at Courtland, Arizona, of properties which
that company held under option, and the following year again went
to Bisbee to accept a position as assistant superintendent of the mine
department at the Copper Queen mine. In August, 1912, Mr.
Beckett was appointed to his present position, and has since made his
headquarters at Globe.

GEORGE KINGDON, who has recently severed his connections in
Globe to accept a position as general superintendent of the Cananea
Consolidated Copper Company, at Cananea, Sonora, has been asso-
ciated with mining development in Arizona for many years. From
1^07 until his recent resignation he has been superintendent of the
United Globe Mines, assistant superintendent of the Old Dominion
Mining & Smelting Company, and superintendent of the Old Domin-
ion Mine. He was born in Devonshire, England, in 1867, came to
America with an older brother when but a boy, and for several years
worked in various positions in the East. Mr. Kingdon, although not
continuously a resident of Globe since he first came to Arizona in
1883, has been identified with mining operations in this district for
twenty-five years, in the employ of the Old Dominion and United
Globe Copper Companies. In 1883, when the importance of discov-
ery of copper at Bisbee had become generally known Mr. Kingdon
came to Arizona and for three years divided his time between Bisbee
and Tombstone. He came to Globe in 1886 and was in the employ of
476 WHO'S WHO
the Old Dominion and Phelps Dodge interests until 1898, when he
went to Hanover, near Silver City, N. M., where the Phelps Dodge
Company had undertaken the development of a copper property. He
remained there until 1900 when he was transferred to Picacho, So-
nora, to operate a gold mine owned by the same company, and from
which he shipped eight cars of ore that netted the company $135,000.
In 1901 he went to Nacozari and took charge of the development of
the Moctezuma mine, where he remained until called back to Globe
to direct the mine work for the Old Dominion and United Globe
Companies. He has been there ever since and has been eminently
successful in the development of both properties. Mr. Kingdon was
united in marriage with Miss Maude Kenyon, a descendant of one of
the pioneer families of the Southwest, her father, Charles Kenyon,
being one of the best known figures of the pioneer days of Arizona.
Mr. and Mrs. Kingdon have just returned from an extensive Euro-
pean trip. Both are well known in the social and fraternal life of the
state. Mr. Kingdon is a Mason, while Mrs. Kingdon holds an im-

JOSEPH PARK HODGSON, mine superintendent of the Copper
Queen Consolidated Mining Company, has recently entered the em-
ploy of of the Copper Queen Company, having come from Ishpeming,
Mich., where he was employed about the iron and copper mines since
1899. During the five years immediately preceding his coming to
Bisbee, Mr. Hodgson was associated with the Breitung interests,
who prior to his connection with them, were ow r ners of large landed
tracts and abundant capital, but with rather unsatisfactory mining
experience. There was a lack of equipment, ore had been badly
graded and fallen into disrepute, and conditions generally were so
unsettled as to require heroic treatment. This Captain Hodgson, as
Assistant Superintendent, determined to administer, and that he car-
ried out his determintaion is best proven by the fact that he soon
rose from the position of Assistant Superintendent to that of Super-
intendent, and then General Superintendent of these large interests.
What had seemed like a losing venture became a noted success. From
one small property at the outset he developed five. He sunk shafts,
found the ore, installed the proper machinery to get it to the surface,
and developed a capacity for production on a scale so economical as
to compare favorably with any. Captain Hodgson was born in
Lancashire, England, August 19, 1869. He attended school until he

mining and secured work as "mucker." About this time his father
died, and being the oldest of the family, additional responsibility de-
volved upon him, so he worked with the hope of securing a better
position and wages. His skill and determination attracted consider-
able attention, ard he was shortly given a place as miner. After
four years as miner in the north of England he came to this country
and located in Ishpeming. With the Lake Superior Company he
first worked as miner, then did timbering and underground repair
work, and was afterward captain of the Lake Superior Hematite
mines, the youngest captain in that region. He quit the employ of
the Lake Superior Company to enter that of the Breitung interests. The
reasons for his rapid rise are to be found in the personality of the
man himself, for from the very region in which he advanced from
miner to General Superintendent, in charge of more than 1,400 men,
comes the unqualified statement that "He has risen by virtue of his
ability, his application, his loyalty and his wholesomeness. He has
478 W H O ' S W H O
been clean and honest, has rung right all his life, and has worked hard
and straight on, ambitiously and successfully." It was while on a
visit to friends in Bisbee that he was made the offer of his present
position and accepted it. It is a position of much responsibility, but
Captain Hodgson's training during the twenty-seven years that he
has been working to it by successive stages, and the knowledge ac-
quired thereby, will undoubtedly insure his continued success in this
larger field. Mr. Hodgson was married in Ishpeming, Michigan, in
1890, to Miss Ellen Jewell, and with their family of five children are
making their home in Bisbee. He is a member of the York Rite
Council, the Scottish Rite Masons and the Knights of Pythias. He
is also a member of the Lake Superior Mining Institute, Society of
American Engineers, and a Director of the Young Men's Christian
Association, in which he is intensely interested. He is a Director of
the Negaunee National Bank, at Negaunee, Michigan, being one of
the organizers. Mrs. Hodgson and their two daughters are greatly
interested in church work, and in the work of the Y. W. C. A.
ROGER T. PELTON, chief engineer of the Copper Queen Consoli

cated in his native state, was graduated from Columbia University as
Mining Engineer, after which he took a post graduate course in the
same school. He came to Arizona in 1904 as engineer for the Copper
Queen Consolidated Mining Company at Bisbee, where he displayed
such ability in his work that he was made chief engineer in 1907, for
this corporation which employs only the best. Mr. Pelton was mar-

scouting for General Miles in the Sioux War. Richard's mother
was born in Dublin, Ireland, and came to America when she was nine
years old. She died in 1874. Richard Mayne started life on a ranch;
he began working on the ranges in Nebraska when he was but four-
teen years old. When he was eighteen he went to Wyoming, engaged
in freighting, and the following year went to Colorado, where he was
employed by a wholesale house and attended night school. He later act-

ed as city solicitor for the same company. In 1890 he went to Ontario,
Cal., where he did his first work underground, which he has since fol-
lowed. He was married in San Bernardino, Cal., June 12, 1896, to
Mrs. Margaret Ellen Robh, daughter of William Potter, who crossed
the plains from Ohio to California in 1851, and was well known
among the California pioneers. They came to Arizona, and here he
was employed in the La Fortuna mine as a miner, timberman, hoist-
ing engineer and shift-boss. In 1899 he left his position on account of
his wife's health, and located in Globe, where he was employed in the
Old Dominion mine as miner, and later as timberman, head shaft-man
and shift-boss. He was afterwards made successively night foreman,
day foreman, and in 1909 general foreman, which position he now
holds, and the duties of which include charge of the mine department
consisting of surface work, four foremen underground, twenty-three
shift-bosses and seven hundred men. Mrs. Mayne died June 10, 191 1,

public office.
JOHN LANGDON, Master Mechanic of the Old Dominion Copper
Company, was born at Hancock, Michigan, in July, 1867, and is the
son of Leonard Langdon, one of that town's well known citizens. He
was educated in the public schools, learned the trade of machinist, and
worked for several large mining companies in Houghton County,
Michigan. Mr. Langdon first came to Arizona in 1904, located in
Bisbee, and operated a diamond drill for four months. He then
removed to Globe, and entered the employ of the Old Dominion Cop-
per Company as shop foreman, which position he held until April,
1906, when he was promoted to the position he now holds. Mr.
Langdon is known as one of the prominent citizens of Globe, and was

known in the civic life of Oswego, while his mother, Mary Bulger
Scofield, was a descendant of one of the prominent families of the
Empire State. Having completed the high school course, Mr. Sco-
field took a course in chemistry at the Oswego State Normal School
and afterwards worked as assayer and chemist in a number of cities,
but he considers the three years spent in Colorado in partnership with
Frank Helleburg, of greatest value to him in his life work. Mr.
Helleburg was a chemist and assayer of renown, and the firm spent
much time in exploration of new metals, and Mr. Scofield was sent
to all parts of the country to gather material for laboratory work.
He was connected with different chloronation and cyanide mills in
Colorado with concentrators in connection, before coming to Arizona.
Another reduction plant, similar in size to the present one, is now in
course of construction by the Old Dominion Company, and as soon
as this is completed the old concentrator will be thoroughly remodeled.
In politics Mr. Scofield is an independent, and believes in favoring
individual worth rather than blindly following organization. Frater-
nally he is t\ 32nd degree Mason, having taken the full degrees in
both Scottis.i and York Rite Masonry, and is a member of the
Knights Templar. He was married in 1888 to Miss Fannie Goddard,
of Fairfield, Iowa, and to their union one son, Ralph, has been born.
L. OGILVIE HOWARD, Superintendent of Reduction of the Old
Dominion Mining & Smelting Company, brought to his present posi-

University, in Montreal, a school which has turned out scores of the
ablest mining men in the country, Mr. Howard went to Mexico,
where he took a position with the American Smelting & Refining
Company as chemist. His work atracted attention and he was given
a place on the faculty of his old school as demonstrator in chemistry
and metallurgy. After having spent some time as instructor at
McGill he returned to Mexico and again became affiliated with the
American Smelting & Refining Company. He then went to the
Anaconda Copper Company, of Anaconda, Montana ; thence to
Humbolt, Arizona, as chemist. He left this company to take a place
with the Old Dominion as Chief Chemist, and in 1907 took charge
of the reduction works. Under his supervision a large number of
improvements have been made, the most notable being the increase in
the capacity of the concentrator to more than twice its former capacity,
which work is now being completed.

time has devoted his energies very nearly exclusively to the mining
industry, and has met with an exceptional degree of success in this
field, his services having been such as to merit advancement. After
some time working in Jerome for the Clark interests, Mr. Barkdoll

FREDERICK WALPOLE HOAR, E. M., of Globe, Arizona, is one of
the best known mining men in the Southwest, has been connected
with numerous mining interests throughout the State, having held
prominent positions throughout the Globe-Miami district, and has
won distinction in his calling. He is the son of R. M. Hoar, a
merchant of Houghton, Michigan, who died several years ago. His
career has been most interesting, and shows what can be accomplished
by perseverance. Upon graduating from the High School he entered
the Michigan College of Mines, at Houghton. Having decided, at
the end of the first year, to pay for his own education, he conceived
the scheme of selling books, paper, instruments, etc., to the other
students to accomplish this end. This was in 1893, and his plan has
been followed continuously by other students. The business was
launched with a bankroll of twenty-five dollars. The First National
Bank, however, paid the first bills without charge, a^d in thirty days
the business was self-sustaining and proved very profitable thereafter.
In 1895 he was appointed assistant to the Professor of the Mining
Engineering Department, and served in this capacity during 1895 and
1897, then resigned because of a desire to get into the field, and left
for Globe, Arizona, to accept a position with the Old Dominion Cop-
per Mining & Smelting Company, as assistant mining engineer and
chemist, at three dollars per day. Three months' work, however,
brought an increase of salary to one hundred dollars per month,
three more brought one hundred and fifty dollars per month and the
position of chief mining engineer, with two assistants. Whenever a
man was wanted, Mr. Hoar was called upon to take the place, and
ne therefore filled the position of chemist, mining engineer, metallur-
gist, smelter superintendent, master mechanic, foreman and acting
manager, at various times. In July, 1901, he received the appoint-
ment of manager and agent of the entire company holdings, to succeed
S. A. Parnall. The eastern management of the company changed
hands in 1902, and the new management asked for recommendations
as to the most advisable action to take regarding the property. Mr.
Hoar advised the building of modern smelting and mining equipment,
which the directors decided to install after due consideration and ex-
amination by other experts, and Mr. Hoar was instructed to design
and install the plant he wanted. About two years w y ere consumed
in the building of this plant, which was almost completed when the
Phelps Dodge Company became interested in the property and Dr. L.
D. Ricketts wa aopointed manager. In about thirty days after Mr.
Hoar left, in 1904, the plant was in operation. He next located in
El Paso, where he opened an office as mining engineer and metallur-
gist. His business, being successful, has taken him into many parts
of the Territory, and he moved his familv to various towns, as busi-
ness interests warra n ted. In July, 1909, he moved back to Globe,
where he still resides, and is general manager of the Southwestern

HEXRY LOVIN, Senator from Mohave County, is a Southerner by
birth, having been born in North Carolina, but a through and through
Arizonan, and one of the men w T ho came West with meager assets
and made good. Politically, as well as otherwise, he is today one of
the State's most solid citizens. He has never been defeated at the
polls, and in his various other undertakings he has met with like
success. It was Mr. Lovin who grub-staked the man who discovered
the Gold Roads mine, and if for no other reason than this, his name
in Arizona's history would be made memorable, as the Gold Road
has made a marvelous record as a producer of gold, and has done
much toward giving Arizona a place in the records of gold-producing
sections. Its output, already amounting to millions of dollars, has
attracted attention from the entire world. Senator Lovin sold his
interest to the present owners of the mine, who have extensively
developed it, and have been the means of bringing many valuable
citizens to that vicinity. Mr. Lovin has twice been elected Sheriff
of Mohave, his majority at the second election having greatly exceeded
that received at the first. He was also a member of the Constitu-
tional Convention, and his popularity as Mohave's representative
citizen could not be disputed after the handsome majority accorded
him in his candidacy for member of the First State Senate, as he
received tw T ice as many votes as were polled for two opponents. Mr.
Lovin knows the people he represents, and their needs, enjoys their
confidence and esteem, and he is especially interested in the welfare
of the working people, and familiarly known as "Friend of the
Miner." He has, in fact, helped many a man at a critical point,
and thus enabled him to attain success, has financed some of the
greatest projects in the State, and by his aid has made it possible for
some of the great mines of Mohave, the gold-producing county of the
north, to be developed. Senator Lovin is head of a large mercantile
establishment, and largely interested in a number of other enterprises,
among them a freighting business by which he makes it possible for
residents of the section to get their supplies and machinery moved at a
reasonable figure. Like his colleague from Cochise, Senator C. M.
Roberts, he is a large employer, and like him also, he owes his large
majority to the work done in his behalf by former employes and people
who have been otherwise associated with him in business. Chivalrous,

entire litetime in this country and was educated in San Francisco,
California. Having completed his education he was engaged in mer-
cantile business for a short while, but soon quit that to take up the
study of law. Shortly afterwards he came to Arizona and located in
Final County, where in company w r ith Judge R. E. Sloan, he acquired
ownership of Kenilworth Farm, the largest farm at that time under
cultivation in Arizona. He was admitted to practice in this state, and
was one of the four Republicans elected to the first Constitutional
Convention in 1891, representing Final County; again in 1895 he
represented Final County in the Council of the Eighteenth Legisla-
ture, after which he returned to the practice of law, his chosen pro-
fession, having offices in Florence and Tucson.
In 1900, having become interested in mining and acquired valuable
properties, he gave up his legal work entirely to devote his time to that
industry. While his holdings in Arizona are very valuable, they are
not confined to this state, as he has also mining interests in Canada,
Mexico, and in other parts of the Southwest.

chosen President of the Association at the last election. He was born
in Prescott January 18, 1878, of Scotch-Irish parentage. His father,
Daniel Campbell, located in Prescott in 1869. Thomas Campbell at-
tended the public schools of his native town, was graduated from the
High School there, and finished his education at St. Mary's College,
Oakland, Cal. During his college course he gave particular attention
to the study of Science and Economics. Mr. Campbell has held a
number of official positions, having first been Assistant Postmaster at
Prescott, which he resigned in 1898 to accept that of Acting Post-
master at Jerome. He was later appointed Postmaster at Jerome, but
resigned that office in order that he might devote his entire attention
to his mining interests in the northern part of the State. In 1900,
when but 22 years old, he was elected to represent Yavapai County
in the Legislative Assembly, and had the distinction of being the first
Native Son elected to such a position. In June of the same year he
married Miss Eleanor Gayle Allen, daughter of H. J. Allen, of Je-
rome, and from this happy mating have issued two sons, Allen and
Brodie, aged ten and eight years, respectively. In the fall of 1906,
elected Chairman of the Yavapai County Central Committee, he
waged a strong campaign, taking as an issue "Equal Taxation, Hon-
esty and Ability in Public Office," the result of which was that the
County obtained a Republican administration, the first in many years.
In appreciation of his knowledge of taxation, his honesty and courage,
he was appointed County Assessor for the term expiring 1910, re-ap-
pointed in 1911, and in December of the same year was elected by
the largest vote received by any candidate in the county. As assessor
he has ever been foremost in promulgating equitable and intelligent
methods of assessing all classes of property with a view to equitably
distributing the burdens of taxation. It was through his efforts that
the Arizona Assessors' Association was created in 1911, when Mr.

Campbell was unanimously elected its first President, and re-elected
in 1912. During the session of the first State Legislature he succeeded
in having introduced the Acts Creating a State Tax Commission,
State Board of Equalization, and the Assessment of Public Service
Corporations. Mr. Campbell is recognized as one of the tax experts
of Arizona, and his address on "Centralized Administrative Author-
ity on Taxation" shows his calibre. Mr. Campbell is deeply interest-
ed in stock raising and mining in Yavapai County, takes a keen inter-
est in all public questions, is a Progressive Republican, and though
still a young man, is a recognized leader of his party.
JOHN D. WANVIG, JR., Superintendent of the Three R. mines, was
born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1887, and educated in the public
schools of that city. After graduation from the Michigan College of
Mines, Houghton, Michigan, he was employed as mining engineer for
the Cole & McDonald Exploration Company, Virginia, Minnesota.
He has been a resident of Arizona during the past five years, having
been assistant engineer for the Miami Copper Company, chief engineer
and later superintendent for the Superior & Boston Copppr Com-
pany, and then mining engineer with Frank H. Probert of Los
Angeles, making mine examinations in the Southwest and Mexico.
The latter position he resigned to become superintendent of the Three
R mines, near Patagonia, Arizona.
RALPH HENRY CAMERON, the man icho secured Statehood for Ari-
zona, who was the last Territorial Delegate to Congress from Arizona,
was born in Southport, Maine, October 21st, 1863. His education,
received in the public and high schools, was greatly augmented by
methodical home study and reading. He has been a resident of
Arizona for the past thirty years, and is perhaps the best known man
in the State. He is as well known to the miner as he is to the mine
owner. To both he is plain Ralph Cameron. He counts his
friends by the thousands, because he never ivas knoicn to go bark
on a friend. Mr. Cameron has been variously interested in the
development of the State's resources, especially mining. He has
taken an active interest in politics, and has been the choice of his party
for offices of trust and honor. In Coconino County he served sev-
eral terms as sheriff, and one term as Chairman of the Board of
Supervisors. He was a delegate to the 61st Congress for the term
1909-1911, and owing to the admission of Arizona to the Union, his
t^rm of office was extended until the President's proclamation, Janu-
ary, 1912. In 1911 he was the Republican candidate for United
States Senator. In politics he is a life-long Republican. Mr.
Cameron is the President of the Arizona Securities and Investment
Company, of Phoenix, and is devoting his entire attention to that-
office.

Arizona Supreme Court
THE SUPREME COURT OF ARIZONA, consisting of Alfred Franklin,
Chief Justice, and Henry D. Ross and Donnell L. Cunningham,
Associates, is the first since the organization of Arizona to represent
the choice of the people. And being the choice of the people, Arizona
has the utmost confidence in the men selected for the conduct cf this,
the court of last resort in the State, who are answerable only to the
people of the commonwealth. They are all men who have seen the
Territory develop in wealth, importance and standing in the Union,
and finally develop into the Forty-eighth State; men w r ho have been
for years intimately associated with its legal fraternity in both private
practice and in County and Territorial offices. Chief Justice Frank-
lin is the son of former Governor Franklin, whom he served as private
secretary, and he was later Assistant U. S. Attorney for Arizona.
Judge Ross and Judge Cunningham have both served as District
Attorney. They are acquainted with conditions in, and are alive to
the best interests of, Arizona, and no more able men ever graced a
Supreme Bench.
ALFRED FRANKLIN came to Arizona in 1893 and engaged in the
general practice of law at Phoenix, where he has since continually
resided. He was Assistant United States Attorney, member of the
Constitutional Convention, and was elected Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court at the first State election.
HENRY D. Ross, Associate Justice of the first Supreme Court of
Arizona, w T as born in Independence County, Arkansas, September 12,
1861. His early life was spent on a farm. He first attended the
public schools, then Clark's Academy, at Berryville, Arkansas. He
took his law course in the University of Iowa, from which he was
graduated with a LL. B. degree in 1883. Judge Ross came to
Arizona in 1885, and during the first two years of his residence here
taught school, before devoting his time exclusively to the practice of
his profession. In 1889 and 1890 he served as District Attorney of
Yavapai County, and during the succeeding two years as District
Attorney of Coconino County, while in 1893 and 1894 he repre-
sented the latter county in the Assembly. His next official position
was Register of the Land Office in Prescott, which he resigned
after three years to become District Attorney of Yavapai County,
and the latter position he resigned in 1911, when elected member of
the Supreme Court. Until his election to the Supreme bench, Judge
Ross was in active practice, and from 1894 a member of the firm of
Ross & O'Sullivan, of Prescott. During the years since he attained
to prominence in his profession, he has been a substantial friend to
the young lawyer, and some of Arizona's brightest attorneys today

attribute their success in part to his judicious instruction. Judg
Ross was married April 24, 1890, to Miss Margaret Wheeler.
Mrs. Ross is one of the most socially charming women of the Capital
city, their present home, is educated in art and music, and a leading
member of the Musicians' and Woman's Clubs of that city. They
have two sons, Henry Davis, Jr., and John Wheeler Ross.
DONNELL LAFAYETTE CUNNINGHAM, member of the Supreme
Court of Arizona, was born in Gaylesville, Alabama, April 21, 1866.
He was educated in that town and was graduated from the Gayles-
ville High School, an incorporated academy. Judge Cunningham
received his instruction in law from John L. Burnett, one of the
State's leading attorneys, and now a member of Congress from
Alabama. In the meantime he had worked on a farm and taught
sciiool for a time in the vicinity of his home, and was admitted to
practice in the circuit court at Center, Alabama, December 23, 1887.
Tn January of the next year he began to practice at Ashville, and
was also editor of the "St. Clair Advance," a weekly newspaper.
In February, 1899, he removed to Fort Payne, practiced there for
about four years, and in 1893 went to Colorado. He spent one year
in Trinidad, then proceeded to Cripple Creek at the close of the
"Bull Hill War." There he at first engaged in the practice of law,
but after a few months took up mining and stock brokerage, and
operated on the stock exchange until April, 1896, when the town
was destroyed by fire. Practically everything in the town was
destroyed, and judge Cunningham's sole remaining assets being
one office chair, he assisted in the work of constructing tents
and shacks for shelter until business was again made possible, when
he accepted a position as salesman in a grocery store. The next
\ear he left with two friends to seek a new location, with no definite
destination in mind, and arriving in the Blue Mountains of Utah,
they flipped a coin to decide whether it should be Idaho or Arizona.
The latter won and they preceded thither, crossed the Navajo
country and the Painted Desert from Bluff, Utah, and reached
Flagstaff August 14, 1897. Here Judge Cunningham worked as a
laborer for several months, then came to Phoenix with his friends,
and they made their home under the cottonwood trees on South
Second Avenue, about six blocks south of the Court House. In the
spring he returned to Flagstaff, where he was employed for a time
in the lumber mills and in the District Attorney's office. His next
move was to Williams, where he opened an office and was elected
first City Attorney, practiced there several years, and in 1904, while
practicing in Tombstone, was married to Mrs. Louisa Leavenworth
on March 10th. He served as District Attorney of Cochise County,
and was one of the County's delegates to the Constitutional Conven-
tion, in which he was Chairman of the Judiciary Committee.

Frederick Arthur Sutter
FREDERICK ARTHUR SUTTER, Judge of the Superior Court of Co-
chise Couny, was born in Marshall, Michigan, March 10, 1874, but
lived on a farm in Nebraska until he was twenty years of age, and
received his early education in that State. At that time he came to
Arizona, located in Bisbee, and went to work in the mines, which
work he continued until he had sufficient funds to enable him to at-
tend school and prepare for the study of law. He then attended
Shattuck Military School, at Faribault, Minnesota, from which he
was graduated, and at once returned to Nebraska, where he entered
the Law School of the State University, completed the course, and
was graduated in June, 1902. In January of the next year he re-
turned to Bisbee and opened an office to engage in private practice,
and until his election as Judge of the County, made Bisbee his
home. During his residence there he served as City Attorney for
five years and also as Deputy District Attorney of Cochise County
for several terms. He was a member of the twenty-fifth Legislative
Assembly, and during his term was the special champion of bills
I N ARIZONA
505
favoring the taxpayer and the laboring man. At the time of his
election Judge Sutter was a member of the firm of Neale & Sutter,
who had attained much prominence in the profession.
He is a member of Bisbee Lodges of Moose and Elks.
A thorough student of law, able, conscientious, and possessing ex-
cellent judgment, Judge Sutter during his first year on the bench has
merited and won the recognition which is his due, and quite befitting
his position as Judge of the Superior Court of the first county in the
State. Judge Sutter was married in June, 1912, to Miss Edna Mc-
Gavock. Their present home is at Tombstone, the county seat.
Frank Bray L.aine
FRANK BRAY LAINE, Judge of the Superior Court of Greenlee
County, came of a line of distinguished jurists. His father, Thomas
Henry Laine, was one of the ablest attorneys in California. He
was a member of the Constitutional Convention of California in
1879, and the Constitution of the State was drafted largely from one
w r ritten by him and submitted to the Convention. He was also a
506 WHO'S WHO
member of the State Senate in the 20th and 21st Legislatures and
was active in behalf of progressive legislation. An orator of much
ability, he was a potent factor in the Democratic party and an in-
fluence in the national politics of that day. He w r as also prominent
in the Masonic order, and his son, Judge Laine, has kept the family
name on the records of this order in a most commendable manner.
The Laine family has long been connected with the development of
the country. Judge Laine's grandfather having been a pioneer bear
hunter of Missouri. Judge Laine is a native of California, having
been born in San Jose in 1861. He was educated in the public
schools of the State and at Franklin Academy, a private school named
in his honor. He studied law in the office of his father, the
first classical graduate in the State, who w r as graduated from the
University of the Pacific in 1858. Judge Laine has attained high
honors in Masonry in both the York and Scottish Rites, having taken
the 32nd degree. He is also a member of the Knights Templar ; is
Past Master of the Coronado Lodge No. 8 of Clifton, and in 1910
was appointed Grand Orator for the State Lodge. He is also in-
terested in other fraternal organizations and is Past Exalted Ruler
of the Clifton Lodge of Elks No. 1174. In his manner of dispensing
justice, which has been highly commended for fairness and depth of
knowledge, Judge Laine has shown the benefits derived from his
thorough training in law. His eldest son, Thomas Henry Laine, is
now r a student in the office of Charles S. Wheeler, one of San Fran-
cisco's well known attorneys, and his other son, Harry Nicholas
Laine, is taking a special course at Stanford University.
WILLIAM FEXIMORE COOPER, Judge of the Superior Court of
Pima County, was born in Dublin, Indiana, August 6, 1858. His
father, John Cooper, was one of the leading educators of that State
and Superintendent of the Public Schools for more than half a cen-
tury. Judge Cooper began his school career at the unusually early
age of four years and attended public school constantly until he was
graduated from the high school at the age of twelve years. He
then attended Otterbein University at Westerville, Ohio, for
one year, after which he completed the classical course and was
graduated in 1887 from the Peekskill Military Academy, New
York. When but eight years old he manifested an enthusiastic
interest in printing and began working in a small office on
Saturdays and summer vacation. He later learned the printing
trade, and has been engaged in newspaper work, both as em-
ploye and owner, doing local and editorial work. He served one
year w r ith the "Tucson Citizen," doing editorial work, and was for
a time proprietor and editor of the "Florence Tribune." During the
time he was engaged in the latter capacity he renewed the study of
law, which he had undertaken with Honorable William A. Peelle,
IN ARIZONA
507
of Richmond, Indiana, as preceptor, after his graduation from Peeks-
kill Academy. After one year and a half his system showed plainly
the result of overwork during his last two years at school and at
the study of law, and a physical breakdown w r as the result. This
necessitated an entire change, and several years following spent in
Colorado and on a California cow ranch completely restored his
health, and twenty years ago found him in Arizona. During his
William Fenimore Cooi-r
first few years here he worked as miner, printer and cowboy, as well
as editor, until 1894, when he passed a very creditable examination
and was admitted to practice before the Supreme Court. A little
later he was admitted to practice in California. In 1896 he took up
his residence in Tucson. Here he gradually began building up a
practice, and in 1898 was persuaded to accept the Republican nomi-
nation for District Attorney of Pima County, was elected, and at
the close of his term re-elected. Having become a thoroughly pro-
508
WHO S WHO
ficient stenographer, he was appointed in 1904 to the position of
Court Stenographer, which he held until 19U8, when he was elected
to the office of Probate Judge. In 1906 he was Republican candi-
date for delegate to Congress, and while defeated, he made a re-
markable showing in his home county, having had a majority of
613 votes. Mr. Cooper has served the city of Tucson as councilman-
at-large, and was one of the Republican minority in the late Consti-
tutional Convention. He has always been a staunch Republican,
and was elected Judge of Pima County on that ticket at the first state
election held in Arizona. He was the first Judge of the Superior
Court to qualify in the new state, taking the oath of office at 13 min-
utes after nine o'clock on the morning of February 14, 1912. In April,
1894, Judge Cooper was married to Miss Elizabeth A. Douglas,
of Florence, a native daughter of Arizona. Their family now con-
sists of six children three boys and three girls.

Frank J. Duffy
FRANK J. DUFFY, judge of the Superior Court of Santa Cruz
County, was born in Waddington, New York, April 3, 1866. He
first attended the public schools and afterwards St. Lawrence Uni-
versity, from which he was graduated in 1888 with the degree of
Bachelor of Science. In the same year he came to Arizona and for
five years was engaged in educational work in Phoenix and Globe.
During this time, however, he had decided to make the law his life
profession, and had devoted his leisure time to the mastery of the sub-
ject. Having removed to Nogales, he was elected justice of the peace
in 1896 and re-elected two years later, which position he held at the
time of the separation of Pima and Santa Cruz Counties, when he
rendered conspicuous service as assistant enrolling and engrossing
clerk and arranged the complicated matters for the bill. In 1899 he
resigned the office of justice to accept that of assessor, and in the same
year was admitted to practice in Santa Cruz County. In 1900 he was
elected district attorney on the Democratic ticket and his administra-
tion was an excellent one. He has long been regarded as one of the
representative lawyers of Arizona, a close student and capable expon-
510
WHO S WHO
ent of the law. In 1909 he was elected to the 25th Territorial Legis-
lature, and served as Chairman of the Judiciary and Printing Commit-
tee, and as member of other committees. In February, 1912, he
assumed the duties of his present position. Judge Duffy is the son of
Michael and Mary O'Brien Duffy, also natives of the county in which
he was born. He was married January 18, 1905, to Miss Annie M.
Parker. He has one son and one daughter, Francis R. and Mary L.
Judge Duffy has always been identified with movements for the pro-
gress of his adopted town, which can boast of no more efficient worker
in its behalf.
CARL G. KROOK, Judge of the Superior Court of Mohave County,
is an example of the self-made man, and has had an interesting ca-
reer. Born in Minnesota, August 18, 1870, of Swedish parents,
who were pioneers of that State, he was reared in a German com-
munity, learned the language thoroughly, and has found its use of
great benefit in his work both as lawyer and Judge. His father, Carl
W. A. Krook, was for some years a builder and contractor, and later
a merchant in Minnesota, and his son had the benefit of experience
in construction work, which stood him in good stead in helping to
build up a new State. After having completed the public school
course he matriculated in two colleges, one a German, and the other
a Swedish institution, each of which he attended two years, after
which, in 1892, he entered an attorney's office. There he spent three
years perfecting himself in the rudiments of law from the stand-
point of actual experience, then went to England, where he entered
the Inns of Court Law School and took a one-year course in old
English law. Returning to his home, he took the law course in the
University of Minnesota, from which he was graduated in 1899 with
an LL. B. degree. The same year he was admitted to practice,
opened up a law office in Minneapolis immediately thereafter, and to
more thoroughly prepare himself for his chosen work that year also
found him taking a post graduate course, from which he was grad-
uated in 1900 with the degree of LL. M. After four years' practice
in Minnesota he came to Arizona, where he soon became interested in
mines. Seeing the great possibilities in mining law, he spent several
years in prospecting and mining and with his brother purchased a
mine in Mohave County, on which they spent a large sum trying to
place it among the paying producers. While thus employed, the
young attorney was nominated for the Legislature and elected to the
24th Session, in which he was Chairman of the Judiciary Commit-
tee. He was an active worker in behalf of reform measures and
those laws which tend to the improvement of the social and industrial
life of the State. He championed the bill to raise the standard of the
legal profession by more exacting examinations for admission to prac-

tice, and worked hard in the interest of the Act for Correction of
General Practice. Judge Krook was a worker and not a talker, and
his influence during this session accomplished much that was bene-
ficial in legislation for his County, especially in behalf of the Good
Roads Bill and the Bill segregating the office of Assessor from that of
Sheriff in fourth and fifth class counties. At the conclusion of the
session he again donned the miner's jumper, and for six months
worked in the copper mines at Bisbee, thereby gaining a general
knowledge of the works of large mines. On returning to general
practice, he was a candidate for the nomination for County Attorney
in Mohave, but was defeated. Two years later, however, he was
nominated and elected to his present position, and the excellent train-
ing he has received has been an invaluable aid to him in this capac-
ity. Judge Krook is a member of the Elks Lodge, and is actively in-
terested in all movements tending toward improved conditions of
town, county or state.

FRANK. BAXTER, Superior Judge of Yuma County, even before
coming to Yuma, was one of the best known and most popular at-
torneys in Arizona. Since his residence in Yuma county he has
held nearly every position within the gift of the people of that
county. He has been successively City Attorney, Assistant District
Attorney, and at the last election was elected Superior Judge by
one of the largest majorities ever given an elective officer in Yuma
countv.
Frank Baxter
Judge Baxter is a Virginian, having been born near Petersburg
in 1853. His father was Thomas H. Baxter, who was in the
United States customs service until the Civil War, holding an im-
portant position in Philadelphia. His mother, before her marriage,
was Miss Anna E. Van Horn, of the Van Horns of North Carolina.
So it will be easily seen that Judge Baxter came to Arizona an
ardent Democrat, eminently qualified to become a party leader, an
honorable attorney and a judge of ability and integrity, to whom
IN ARIZONA 513
the whole people could pin their faith as to his honesty, fairness,
justice and ability; and such have the people of Yuma found him
to be. As city recorder of Phoenix he made an excellent repu-
tation and was elected to the position of probate judge, with the
office of superintendent of schools ex-officio. His wide experience as
a jurist and attorney made him the logical candidate for the speaker-
ship of the Seventeenth Territorial Assembly and he was elected
practically without opposition. He later served as chief clerk of
the Nineteenth legislative assembly. His record in official life was
such that when he left Phoenix to go to Yuma, Frank Baxter left
a large circle of friends behind.
He is a graduate of the Philadelphia public schools and later sup-
plemented this with a course at the Chester Military Academy,
Chester, Pa. He studied law in the offices of E. C. and V. S. Lovell
of Elgin, 111., the former a probate judge of that county.
As Superior Judge of Yuma county he has presided with dignity
and fairness and no jurist in the state has a larger clientele of
friends and admirers than he.
In 1914, no doubt, he will be re-elected by an even larger ma-
jority tban that given him in 1911.
FREDERICK WELLINGTON PERKINS, judge of the Superior Court of
Coconino County, is the son of George H. and Harriet Wright Per-
kins, and was born at Milford, N. H., April 15, 1850. The family
moved to Springfield, Mass., in 1853, and to Missouri in 1866. Judge
Perkins was educated in the public schools of Massachusetts, the Uni-
versity of Missouri, and the St. Louis Law School of Washington
University. He first practiced law at Kansas City, and also served
there as U. S. Commissioner and Clerk of the U. S. District Court.
In 1903 he came to Arizona and first engaged in banking business
with E. S. Gosney as the Gosney & Perkins Bank, and later engaged
in the practice of law in Flagstaff, where he had located. He has
served five years as trustee of the Flagstaff school district and three
years as member of the Board of Education of the Northern Arizona
Normal school, having been a member of the latter until elected Judge
of the Superior Court of Ccconino. For several years he was identi-
fied with the Arizona Wool Growers' Association, and served both as
secretary and president. In early life he became a member of the Bap-
tist Church, and he has been active in church and Sunday School work
for many years. He is a member of the York and Scottish Rite Ma-
sons, an officer of the Grand Lodge F. & A. M. of Arizona, and has
been honored with the office of Worshipful Master and Exalted
Ruler; is an active member of the Knights of Pythias and Elks, and a
Son of the American Revolution by right of descent on both paternal
and maternal sides. During the Civil War, Judge Perkins was too
.14
W H O S WHO
young to enlist, but his father and only brother both fought on the
side of the Union, the former until the close of the war, and the latter
until he met his death in service. During part of the war, Judge Per-
kins was employed in the U. S. Armory at Springfield, the youngest
person to hold a position at that place. In 1874 Judge Perkins mar-
ried Miss Mary A. Thompson at Jefferson City, Mo., and six child-
ren, five of whom are living, have been born to them. Four of these
are now living in Arizona, and one, Edwin T., superintendent of the

SIDNEY SAPP, Judge of the Superior Court of Navajo County,
came to Arizona from Oklahoma four years ago, and has since been
prominently identified with the civic, social and political life of the
State. He settled in Holbrook and having been admitted to prac-

tice in all the courts of the State, began the practice of his profession
there. In addition, he started the Holbrook News, which has been
a success from the beginning, and is now controlled by the News Pub-
lishing Company. Judge Sapp was born September 27, 1868, in Fay-
ette County, 111., and is the son of Joseph MacHenry and Kate Ryan
Sapp. He was educated and studied law in Missouri, and began the
practice of law in 1895, at Stockton, Missouri. He also practiced for
a number of years in Oklahoma. He was married first in May, 1893,
Sidney Sapp

ried on June 15th, 1910, at Stillwater, Oklahoma, to Mrs. Alma
Fortner Spiers, of that place. They have since made their home in
Holbrook, and Mrs. Sapp has already become well known and popu-
lar in the affairs of that vicinity. In politics Judge Sapp is a Repub-
lican. He is a Mason, belonging to almost all of the bodies of that
order, a member of the B. P. O. E., and takes an active part in the
fraternal life of his community and state.

JAMES E. O'CONNOR, Superior Judge for the County of Final,
was born in Pescadero, San Mateo County, California, February
20, 1865. His parents, James and Ellen Heffron O'Connor, were
pioneers of California, who reached that State in the early fifties.
Judge O'Connor's early education was acquired by study while work-
ing as tanner and at the Oak Mound Academy of Napa, Califor-
nia. He taught in the public schools of Napa from 1889

teacher was taken into the law office of County Attorney William
Gwynne and Honorable H. C. Gesford, now T Superior Judge in
California, and he was admitted to practice in the courts of Cali-
fornia August 8, 1893. He practiced at Madera, Calif., for several
years until he came to Arizona, and acted as deputy District Attor-
ney during two years of that period. Mr. O'Connor at once took a
prominent part in the legal and political life of the new State. In
1899 he was appointed District Attorney and was re-elected each
term until Statehood was gained by Arizona, when he was elected

acy and mediation of Judge Phillips, whose knowledge of human na-
ture has proven of valuable assistance in the work of meting out jus-
tice. He is married and makes his home in Phoenix, where he is well
known as a devoted church worker.

as District Attorney before he was elected to his present position.
Judge Schute was educated in the public schools of the State, and was
graduated from the Tempe Normal, standing well in his class. After
his admission to the bar, he was soon recognized as an able attorney,
and established a reputation as a criminal lawyer, which made him a
strong candidate for the position of District Attorney. He defeated
one of the strongest attorneys in the county, and made such an excel-
lent official, that he easily won in the primaries and the election. As
a Judge he has been fair and impartial, and litigants and attorneys
speak highly of the manner in which he has conducted his court.

WHO S WHO
CHARLES METCALFE. Superintendent of the Public Schools of
Mohave County, was horn in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 18^5. His father,
Henry Metcalfe, served in the Mexican War, was afterward captain
of a steamboat on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, and died in 1855.
His mother, whose maiden
name was Agnes Purvis, of
Scotch descent, is well and ac-
tive, though seventy-five years
of age. She makes her home
in Ohio. When but a child
Charles went to Missouri,
where he saw many of the
stirring events of the Civil
War ; at twenty-one he went
to the lead mining regions of
Southwest Missouri, was one
of the first settlers of Webb
City, and when it w r as incor-
porated was the first City
Treasurer. Pushing further
west, he went to Harper
County, Kansas, and was pub-
lishing a newspaper at An-
thony when the county was
organized. In 1880 he fol-
lowed the Santa Fe Railroad
into New Mexico, where he
rrm;invd for eleven years, en-
gaged in mining and news-
paper work. He was married in Las Cruces in 1885, and
has three children, two girls and a boy, now grown. His
next move was to the Pacific coast, where he spent five years between
Los Angeles and Puget Sound, but the magnet of the great Southwest
brought him to Arizona seventeen years ago, and he located in King-
man, which has since been his home. He platted Metcalfe's Addition
to the city, which is now a part of Kingman. Under Territorial
government Mr. Metcalfe was elected and served as Probate Judee
of Mohave County, and at the first State election was chosen to his
present position. He is a member of the Masonic order, and Past Ex-
alted Ruler of Kingman Lodge of Elks. He is the principal owner of
the Great Eastern group of mines. While Mr. Metcalfe can hardly
be reckoned among Arizona's pioneers, he is endowed with the true
pioneer's instincts, broadened and developed in his various experiences
in the several States of which he has been a pioneer, and with every
faith in the future of the State which he has chosen for his permanent
residence, has taken as a homestead a splendid tract of land in the
beautiful Wallapai Valley, three miles from Kingman.

THOMAS G. NORRIS, Attorney-at-Law, Prescott, is a native of
Carroll County, Arkansas, where he was born at the outbreak of the
Civil War, and is the son of Jonathan and Jane Cannon Norn's, who
originally came from Tennessee. His father was a successful planter,
but lost everything through the Civil War. Thomas Norn's w y as the
seventh son of a large family, received his early education in his native
State, and owing to the dire results of the War, was obliged to rely
upon his own resources at an early age. He determined, however, to
acquire an education, and succeeded bv means of his persistence. He
524 W II O ' S WHO
entered the University of Iowa, where he completed the course in law,
and was graduated with the class of 1883. He began practicing his
profession in Berryville, Arkansas, but remained there only six months,
and then decided to come to Arizona. Six months were spent in St.
Johns, and he then removed to Flagstaff and for a short time was in
partnership with J. F. Wilson. That partnership being dissolved, he
became a member of the firm of Norris & Ellinwood, which continued
until 1893, when he removed to Prescott and became associated in
practice with J. C. Herndon, constituting a firm of the ablest attorneys
in the Territory. Mr. Norris is now T engaged in practice with E. J.
Mitchell, in the Prescott National Bank Building. As an attorney
he holds rank among the ablest in the State, and while in general pro-
fessional work he has earned a reputation that is nut limited to Ari-
zona, his greatest strength and most extensive practice are in corpora-
tion and mining law. Having surmounted many difficulties, he has
the unbounded satisfaction of knowing that his success and the stand-
ing he has achieved in the legal fraternity of the State have been
attained by hard work, his own determination and energy. In
political affairs he has also been prominent. He was a member from
Coconino County to the First Constitutional Convention, and the
following year was elected Councilman at large for the Territory, and
was President of the Council in 1893. He is a member of the
Masons, Knights Templar and Mystic Shrine, in each is one of the
active workers. In 1883 he was married to Miss Nannie E. Scar-
borough, of Berryville, Arkansas, who died in 1894, leaving him a
family of four children. In 1899 he was again married to Miss
Laura W. Sharpe, of Toronto, Canada. Several years ago he became
interested in the subject of general road improvement, and it was
largely through his efforts that the State Road Association was organ-
ized, W 7 hen he was elected its president, which office he still holds.
He is also a member of the Board of Directors of the National High-
way Association. Mr. Norris thinks that one of the best investments
for State or Nation is a system of permanent highways, and is a per-
sistent and enthusiastic advocate of this cause, in which his interest and
energy have proven a strong impetus for general improvement. Mr.
Norris is never too busy to go to the remote corners of the State
to attend meetings or conventions, in the interests of good roads,
and was one of a party who made a trip over Arizona, visiting every
county in the State to secure nece^ary information about automo-
bile trips for the National Highway Association. In the realiza-
tion of his ambitions, the one that has proven to him the
most gratifying investment of his life has been the education of his
children, his oldest daughter having been graduated from Smith Col-
lege, Northampton, Massachusetts, his second daughter from National
Park Seminary, near Washington, D. C., and his two sons being now
students at Yale.

grasp of things made him a valuable member. In the special session
he was a member of the noted "Ax" committee, which thoroughly
investigated the matter of public expenditures. He was also member
ol the following committees: Judiciary, Enrolling and Engrossing,
and Code Revision, being Chairman of the latter. Air. Jacobs is a

home city, but through much of the State.
BEXTON DICK, Attorney-at-Law, Phoenix, while a comparative
stranger in the legal circles of that city, is well known in other
parts of the State, both in legal and general business circles. Previous
to his removal to Phoenix he was District Attorney of Pima County
almost eight years, having
served from 1905 until
the coming of statehood,
when he refused to again
become candidate for the
office, as he considered the
advantages of a substan-
tial practice in the Capital
City decidedly more at-
tractive. Mr. Dick was
born in Brownville, New
York, in 1873. His fath-
er, Henry Dick, w r as
there a pioneer in railroad
work, having spent many-
years as conductor on the
Rome, Watertown & Og-
densburg, and later on the
New York Central rail-
road. Before coming to
Arizona Benton Dick was
employed by the latter
road as train dispatcher,
and frequently issued or-
ders by which his father's
train was conducted. Mr.
Dick graduated from the
High School, Camden,
New York, but by continued study and close application, the advan-
tages of his school course have been greatly enhanced. After his
graduation he was employed for a short time in a mercantile house,
but preferring to engage in railroad work, he learned telegraphy,
and when but eighteen years of age was appointed train dispatcher,
IN ARIZONA 27
in which capacity he served eight years. In 1900 he came to Arizona;
and was train dispatcher for the Southern Pacific at Tucson. He
first secured a position as dispatcher for the Santa Fe, but having
always been a strong union sympathizer, after ten days went out with
the union when a strike was ordered. While in Tucson he resumed
the study of law, which he had begun in the East, completed the
course, and was admitted to practice in the Supreme Court. Mr.
Dick organized the first Order of Railroad Conductors on the
Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh railroad, and was an active member
during the telegraphers' strike in 1907, having made a number of
addresses in behalf of the strikers. Mr. Dick regards as one of the
memorable events in his career as a railroad man the fact that he
issued orders for the special train which carried the late President
McKinley, the friend of the railroad man, over his division during the
President's last trip through Arizona, and he highly regards a copy
of the schedule prepared for the train on which the martyred Presi-
dent rode on that journey. He has been particularly active in
politics during his residence in Arizona, is a thorough Republican,
and he it was who made the speech nominating Ralph Cameron in
the last Territorial campaign, when he was elected Delegate to Con-
gress. He also toured the State and made many addresses during
that campaign. In 1893 Mr. Dick was married in Oswego, New
York, and has four children, Ruth, Herbert, Russell and Virginia,
the latter a thoroughbred Arizonan.
KIRK T. MOORE, Representative from Pima, and member of the
law firm of Moore & Bernard, was elected in 1908 to represent his

Assembly, and from 1898 to 1907 served as Registrar of the United
States Land Office. Kirk T. Moore was born in Topeka, Kansas,
October 4, 1882, but has lived also in Colorado, California and
Arizona, in each of which States he received a portion of his education.
The family removed to this State in 1893. He was a student at
the University of Arizona from 1899 to 1904, and then attended
Leland Stanford Junior University during the next three years,
and was there graduated with the degree LL. B. in 1908. He was
admitted to practice before the Supreme Court in November of the
same year, and immediately engaged in partnership with F. H.
Bernard. In March, 1909, at the close of the Territorial Legisla-
ture, he was appointed Territorial Superintendent of Public Instruc-
tion, by Governor Joseph H. Kibbey, and served in this capacity
until Arizona was admitted to the Union. During his term in the
First State Legislature he was one of the most active members in
behalf of educational matters. He is now a member of the Com-
mittees on Education, Code Revision, Judiciary, and Enrolling and
Engrossing.

George H. and Fannie Gossin Richey, were natives of Ohio, whose
ancestors were early settlers in that State and Pennsylvania. Mr.
Richey was educated in the public schools of Kansas, and later
attended St. John's Military Academy, Salina, Kansas. His first
regular occupation was selling newspapers in Leadville, Colorado,
and he has since been employed in various capacities in different States,
having worked with city engineering force, in a coal mine, in a print-
ing office, railway office in Pittsburg, Kansas, C. B. & Q. office,
Chicago, and in a grocery store. Weir City, Kansas. From 18%

Comanche and Apache country, and was admitted to the bar of Okla-
homa, and established a nice practice there, remaining : il 1904, and
came to Arizona in 1905, located in Tucson, where he immediately en-
gaged in the practice of law, and has since been a resident of that city.
In the new field Mr. Richer soon acquired a prominence in his profes-
sion and found his experiences in various phases of life a valuable aid
in his work. In 1907 he was appointed City Attorney, and held the of-
fice until 1911. His thorough knowledge of the law and of existing
conditions, and his genuine integrity, have caused him to be recog-
nized as not only one of the leading, but one of the most reliable
attorneys in Southern Arizona. Mr. Richey is a member of the
Masons, Elks and Knights of Pythias. He was married July 19,
1911, to Miss Marie Grandpre. They have one son, Thomas Vic-

W. P. GILMORE. County Attorney of Cochise, was born in Aug-
laize County, Ohio, October 13, 1866. His parents, A. G. and Emma
Gilmore, were also natives of that State, and his ancestors have been
in tins country since 1689, when the first one located in Boston, having
fought in the Pretender ' Cause in England, and been obliged to flee
from the country to save his life. He was from the English branch of
the family and all of his direct descendants are Protestants. Among
Cromwell's Army when they invaded Ireland there was another of his
ancestors named Gilmore, who remained there and among whose de-
scendants are Bishop Gilmore of the Catholic Church, Cleveland;
Patrick S. Gilmore, the noted band leader, and General Gilmore, who
planted the big gun known as the "Swamp Angel" near Charleston in
the Civil War. His maternal ancestors were among the very early
settlers of Maryland and Virginia, and his mother is a direct de-
scendant of Bishop Latimer, who was burned at the stake in Queen
Mary's time, along w T ith Ridley. Mr. Gilmore attended the public
schools, then Ohio Northern University, at Ada, from which he was
graduated LL. B. and B. S. in 1893. During the early part of his
college course he was appointed instructor in geometry, trigonometry

the same year he came to Arizona for his health. He afterwards lo-
cated in California, was admitted to practice there, but ten years ago
returned to Arizona, located in Tombstone, his present home, and
was admitted to practice in this State. Mr. Gilmore came from the
portion of Ohio where a Republican is a rarity. His native county
enjoys the distinction of having had but two Republican office holders
in forty-five years, and Jackson Township for nearly twenty years did
not have a Republican vote. So, naturally he is a Democrat. He was
elected to his present position in 1911 by a majority of 711, the sec-
ond highest received in Cochise County, and has made an excellent

ly in Pima County. He
was one of two Repub-
licans elected to the
First State Legislature
out of Pima County's
delegation of five, and,

measure, passed during the regular session, General Evans, Chief of
the Bureau of Militia of the United States Army, said: "This bill, if
passed without amendment, will give Arizona the best militia code of
any State in the Union." It was passed without amendment largely
through the efforts of the Chairman of the House Committee. Mr.
Crofoot has held important accounting positions since he came to
Arizona in 1906. He has been a member of the Republican County
Central Committee for five years and has served as Secretary of the
City Central Committee. Mr. Crofoot has always been a hard

from Apache." Mr. Crosby was married August 8, 1894, to Miss
Martha Miller, and they have one boy and a pair of twin girls.
JESSE E. CROSBY, County Attorney of Navajo, comes from one of
the pioneer families of the State, and inherits his ability and taste for
official life from his father, G. H. Crosby, who, aside from taking an
active part in the official life of Utah, made his mark as a public
official in Arizona. The
family have lived here since
1885, when Jesse was but
five years of age. As Sheriff
of Washington Count y,
Utah, the elder Crosby made
a reputation which followed
him to Arizona, and when he
became a candidate for the
Legislature his election fol-
lowed as a matter of course.
He was one of the active
members of the la\v-making
body in 1895 and 1896, the
year Xavajo County was
formed. He was a staunch
Republican, a man loved and
respected by all who knew
him, and his word was as
good as his bond. His son
Jesse has followed in his
footsteps and his future is
promising. Like his father
he is a Republican, and en-
joys the confidence of all
with whom he comes in con-
tact. Jesse Crosby was
raised on a ranch, received
a common school education
in Arizona, and afterward
took a course in the Utah
Agricultural College. He
then went to Ann Arbor,
Michigan, where he com-
pleted the law course. He immediately came to Arizona, and, having
been admitted to the bar, practiced for a short time, when he was
elected to the office of County Attorney, which he now holds. Though
quite a young man, Mr. Crosby was successful as a practicing attorney,
and since assuming office has acquitted himself most creditably. He

has been an efficient officer and his constituents are well pleased with
work.
SAMUEL FREDERICK NOON, County Attorney of Santa Cruz, has
been for a number of years connected with the official life of the
State, having grown from childhood in what is now Santa Cruz
County. He was born in California in 1877, but the family
removed to Arizona
when he was but two
years of age. Air. Noon
is the son of Dr. A. H.
and Emma Slaughter
Noon. He is practically
self - educated and a
close student, and is a
shining example of
what can be accom-
plished by energy and
perseverance. He was
the first Clerk of the
District Court in and
for the County of Santa
Cruz under the Terri-
torial organization, and
held this position for six
years. He has also serv-
ed as Commissioner of
the District Court of
Santa Cruz, and Deputy
United States Consul at
Nogales, Sonora. During
his leisure time in these
positions he studied law
and was admitted to practice in 1904. In the fall of the same year,
when elected District Attorney, he resigned the position of Clerk of
the Court and devoted his time to the duties of the latter office and the
building up of a practice, w T hich has assumed gratifying proportions.
Besides practice in the courts of Arizona, Mr. Noon conducts an ex-
tensive practice in the courts of Mexico, with the procedure of which
he is thoroughly familiar, and before the United States Land Office.
He is proficient in Spanish, and in the courts of either country is on
familiar ground. He is a member of the Masons, Elks and Odd Fel-
lows, and well known and popular fraternally and socially. In 1901
he was married to Miss Natalie F. Bonsall, of Bloomington, Indiana,
and they are the proud parents of three children, Bonsall, Edith and
Sarah.

Everett Victor Horton
EVERETT VICTOR HORTON, first County Attorney of Greenlee, has
also the distinction of having been the first District Attorney of
Greenlee County, upon its formation. He was elected to his present
office by a large majority, principally because of the fine record he
made while serving under the Territorial laws. He was born in
Maxwell, Tennessee, in 1880, finished the common school course in
that State, and then attended Burritt College, where he took the
degree of B. S. He then taught school for several years, until he
came to Arizona, in 1903. Here he was first connected with the
Arizona Copper Company in a clerical position for three years, after
which he returned to Tennessee and took a course in law in Vander-
bilt University, Nashville. He received his diploma in 1907 and at
once returned to Arizona, was admitted to practice, and, until he
was elected one of the last officials of the Territory, was engaged in
building up a substantial practice. Mr. Horton is a Democrat of
the Progressive type, and has become well known over the State as an
able attorney and a strong prosecutor. Among the notable cases he
has handled are the famous cattle thieves' conviction, and the securing
IN ARIZONA
537
of a life sentence for the murderer who recently killed two Deputy
Sheriffs of the County. Mr. Horton married Miss Katherine Jean
Anderson, a native of Waverly, Tennessee, and to the union has been
born one son, Edward. Mrs. Horton is a descendant of one of the
old southern families, and with her husband takes a prominent part
in the social life of their home town. Mr. Horton is a member of
the Odd Fellows and Moose lodges.
CHARLES BIRGE WILSON, County Attorney of Coconino, although
a resident of the State but a couple of years, during which he has
made his home at Flagstaff, has won an enviable reputation both in
private practice and as County Attorney. Mr. Wilson was born at
Monmouth, Illinois, June 9, 1877,
educated in the public schools and
later graduated from Brown's Busi-
ness College, Galesburg. He was
then in the employ of Adams' Ex-
press Company for six years in the
Superintendent's office, Secretary to
the Mayor of Galesburg, Substitute
Court Reporter, and Secretary
to F. M. Trissal, a promi-
nent railroad attorney. Having
completed a course in law, he
was admitted to practice before the
Supreme Court of Illinois in April,
1903, and for six years following
conducted a general practice in Chi-
cago. For one year he was asso-
ciated with the legal department of
the Pittsburgh Coal Company at
Chicago. He came to Arizona Oc-
tober 1, 1909, locating at Glendale
and after spending a winter there
was so well pleased with the State
that he decided to make it his future
home. He chose Flagstaff as his most
promising field, and from the success he has already attained there it is
evident his choice was a wise one. In April, 1910, he was admitted
to practice before the Supreme Court of Arizona. Mr. Wilson is
the son of James H. and Ellen Birge Wilson. He is practically a
self-made man, has a high sense of moral duty and the courage of his
convictions. He is a member of the Masons, Knights of Pythias
and M. W. of A. He was married November 29, 1904, to Miss
Katharine Mars, of Galesburg, Illinois.

JAMES GILLIAM BOGARD, County Attorney of Final, was born in
Tennessee, July 29, 1849. His parents, W. J. and Abigail Ezell
Bogard, were prominent in the early development of the South. His
father was a Captain in the Confederate army, and two of his moth-
er's brothers were
veterans of the
Southern Confed-
eracy. Mr. Bogard
was a member of
the Home Guards
of Tennessee dur-
ing the Civil War,
being too young at
the time to join in
the active cam-
paign for the pres-
ervation of the
South. He is a
member of the
Masonic order and
takes an active in-
terest in its affairs.
Mr. Bogard is a
typically self-made
man, and self-edu-
cated, never hav-
ing had more than
one year in school.
He taught school
three years in
Texas, and studied
law in the mean-
time. He was admitted to the bar in 1886, in Texas, at Mangum,
on ground which was later awarded to Oklahoma. After the Ter-
ritory was taken over by the new State he was made a Probate Judge.
He afterwards returned to Texas from Oklahoma, and there he was
elected Attorney of Star County, and at the expiration of his first
term was re-elected by a large majority. He w r as forced to resign
that position owing to his wife's health, which was the reason for
their coming to Arizona. During his residence here Mr. Bogard
has established a large practice, and since assuming his duties as
County Attorney has shown such ability as a prosecutor that the
voters of Final County are well satisfied with the results obtained.
He was married October 2, 1873, to Miss Molly J. Winkler, who
has since died. To the union were born two children, Clifton and
Lora Inez, the latter having become Mrs. Williamson.

ALBERT S. HAWKINS, attorney at law, a member of the firm of
Hawkins & Hawkins, of Phoenix, is best known locally through the
excellent record as attorney, District Attorney, Member of the House
and Senate, which preceded him from Texas, his former home. Mr.
Hawkins was born in Fannin
County, that state, in 1868. He
is the son of Reverend S. J.
Hawkins, deceased, of North
Texas, and Mrs. E. M. Hawk-
ins, now of Dallas, Texas, and
is a nephew of ex-Governor
Alvin Hawkins, of Tennessee.
His early education was received
in the public schools, and he aft-
erwards attended Southwestern
University, Georgetown, Texas.
Having been admitted to the
practice of law at Gatesville, he
followed this profession for
about 23 years at Mid-
land and Abilene, and through-
out West Texas is well known
as an attorney. In 1893 Mr.
Hawkins was elected to the
House of Representatives to rep-
resent Midland and 29 other
counties and during the term
was author of the law creating
the Live Stock Sanitary Commission of Texas, which has been produc-
tive of very good results. He was later District Attorney of the 32nd
Judicial District. In 1901 he was again elected member of the House
of Representatives, and in the same year became known as the author
of the School Land Law, which opened up the western part of the
state to settlers, thereby furnishing homes to thousands of families and
adding millions of dollars to the tax rolls of the state. Mr. Hawkins'
political record is a most unique one in that he has never taken ad-
vantage of a political position to secure a further grip on public pat-
ronage and has always refused to allow his name to be used as candi-
date to succeed himself. In 1904 he was elected to the State Senate
from the Abilene District, and was the author of the law pro-
viding for state and county depositories, which keeps the state funds
in circulation and each year yields a revenue more than sufficient to
pay the expenses of the Treasury Department. He was thereafter
spoken of as The Financier of the Senate. Although Mr. Hawkins
became an Arizonan just about a year ago, when he took up his resi-
dence in Phoenix, he has already become thoroughly imbued with the
540
WHO S WHO
spirit of the new state. A true Southern Democrat, his interests
affiliated with that party here it would seem that his years of experi-
ence in legal and legislative work in the State of Texas would prove a
boon to Arizona, for he has already, by means of valuable sugges-
tions, been of material aid to her worthy legislators. In 1904, the
year in which he was elected Senator, Mr. Hawkins was married to
Miss Sallie W. Bell, of Marshall, Texas.
Lyndsay D. Hawkins
LYNDSAY D. HAWKINS, Attorney-at-Law and junior member of
the firm of Hawkins & Hawkins, Phoenix, is the son of Ella Dickason
and William E. Hawkins, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of
Texas. Mr. Hawkins was born in Dallas, Texas, October 24, 1887,
attended the public schools and Southwestern University, Georgetown,
Texas, and in June, 1910, was graduated from the latter with the
degree B. S. Having completed the law course, he was admitted to
practice in Texas in 1911, practiced there but a short time, and came
to Arizona in March, 1912. He located in Phoenix and became
associated with his uncle, Albert S. Hawkins, one of the well known
attorneys of that city. Mr. Hawkins is a member of the Council
of the Masonic Order, and President of the Woodrow Wilson Ari-
zona College Men's League. He is also a consistent member of the
M. E. Church, South.

W H O S WHO
HARRY C. WHEELER, Sheriff of Cochise County, is one of the
most capable men who has ever filled the office of Sheriff in the
State, and brought to the office a fund of most valuable experience
in this line of work, which he acquired during his term of service
with the Arizona Rangers. This, in addition to his complete knowl-
edge of modern business methods which he has introduced into the
management of the office, has made his official career, though short,
a memorable one in Cochise County. By the introduction of an
automobile the pursuit of prisoners in even the remote parts of the
county has been facilitated, and the expense incident to the same
greatly reduced, so that the great expanse of the county is covered
with a degree of satisfaction never before experienced at the mini-
mum of expense. Sheriff Wheeler was born in Florida in 1875.
His father, Colonel William B. Wheeler, saw service in the Philip-
pine Islands, having participated in a number of battles, prominent
among which was the battle of Manila. His mother was Miss
Cornwall, daughter of Judge Harry Cornwall of Virginia, law part-
ner of Dan Voorhees, a firm which became famous in Illinois. Sheriff
Wheeler, like his father, has a military record, having served in the
Spanish War as a member of the 1st U. S. Regulars from Oklahoma.
On coming to Arizona, in 1900, he located in Tombstone, in a short
time became a member of the Rangers as a private and before the
organization was disbanded had been promoted to the rank of Cap-
tain. Mr. Wheeler married Miss Olive Stafford, of California,
and has one son, Allvn. They make their home in Tombstone.
JOHX D. PATTY, Sheriff of Greenlee County, was born in Colum-
bia, S. C., in 1868. His parents were both natives of South Carolina,
his father, Mark Patty, having been owner of a large flour mill for
many years, and his mother was Hannah Cable Patty. Mr. Patty was
educated in his native State and lived there until 1889, when he
came to Arizona. Here he at once became associated with Wade
Hampton in the cattle business and is still in partnership with him,
being a member of the well-known Patty-Hampton Cattle Company.
Before the organization of Greenlee County, while a resident of Gra-
ham County, Mr. Patty was appointed deputy to Sheriff Ander-
son, and was in charge of the eastern end of the county, and when di-
vision was made, he was elected Constable and made Deputy Sheriff,
in which capacity he served in all five years. His record as peace of-
ficer was so high and his experience so broad that he had no difficulty
whatever in securing the election to his present position, having been
much in the lead of his ticket, and elected by a large majority over the
incumbent at that time. Not only in a business and political way is
Mr. Patty well known and popular, but in a fraternal way also, as
IN ARIZONA

he is a member of the Scottish Rite Masons, the Shrine, and the
Elks. He was married December 22, 1912, to Mrs. Grace Kreuder,
a native of Kansas.
Charles C. Keeler
CHARLES C. KEELER, Sheriff of Yavapai County, was born in
Des Moines, lov a, /' pril 13, 1859. His father, Eli Keeler, was a
Captain in the Union Army during the Civil War, having enlisted
from Des Moines. Mr. Keeler has been in every state and territory
west of the Mississippi River, as well as in Mexico, and first came
to Arizona in 1888. He first lived in Phoenix, but removed to
Prescott, where he has lived for the past twenty-three years. During
most of this time he has been engaged in trading and mining, but has
also been employed as a government packer. He served three years
as Deputy under Sheriff James Smith of Yavapai, won many friend?
and much commendation while in this position, and it was largely
on his record as Deputy Sheriff that he was elected to his present
office in the fall of 1911.

W H O S WHO
W. F. HAYNES, Sheriff of Gila County, has the distinction of hav-
ing been elected to office by the largest vote polled for any man in the
County, which is due, no doubt, to the record he made as under sheriff,
and while filling the unexpired term of his predecessor, J. H.
Thompson, which w r as ample assurance to the people of Gila County
that the duties of the office would be carefully and conscientiously
performed. Frank Haynes is a typical southerner and was born in
Sharon, Tennessee, September 7, 1874. He was reared on a farm
W. F. Haynes
and educated in the public schools of Tennessee and of Texas, where
he removed with his mother. Left an orphan at the age of two years
by the death of his father, he early took upon himself responsibilities,
and from the age of fourteen, when he moved to Texas, was variously
employed as cowboy, rancher and in other capacities, until he reached
his majority. At that time he began his career as a railroad man,
which line he followed until the time he was appointed to the office
of Deputy Sheriff in 1908. He was known throughout the South-
west as one of the most efficient and courteous conductors in the
IN ARIZONA
545
service and it was partially due to his popularity as a railroad man
that he received so large a majority at the primaries and the election.
He still retains his membership in the Order of Railroad Conductors,
and the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen. He is a member of the
Fraternal Order of Eagles, and a life member of the B. P. O. E. He
is a descendant of a long line of southern Democrats, and is a staunch
member of the party.
JAMES E. McGEE, Sheriff of Final County, was born on the 2nd
day of January, 1870, in Crawford County, Arkansas. When he was
five years old his father, becoming interested in the gold movement
in California, left Arkansas for California, crossing the plains and
desert in the proverbial
"Prairie Schooner" pro-
_ . _,, pelled by a yoke of oxen.
They were over a year
making the trip to the
Golden State, upon
reaching which the fath-
er found much more
gold by tilling the soil
than by mining, and
settled in T u 1 a r e
County. Here is where
Sheriff McGee received
his education, as the
children of the pioneers
were educated ; here is
where he received his
early training in trailing
man and beast. Leav-
ing California for Ari-
zona, at the age of
twenty-three, he had
his first experience in
the official business,
catching a train hold-up
man in Yuma County.
Florence, Arizona, be-
ing the seat of the
United States Court, at that time, he brought his prisoner to Florence,
Final County. Two weeks later he was offered the position of
Deputy Sheriff of Final County, which position he accepted and filled
until 1904, when he joined the Arizona Rangers, and was appointed
sergeant under Captain Rynning. In 1906 he resigned his ranger

position and was elected Sheriff of Final County, which position he
still holds. He is recognized as a courageous officer, a man of the
West, one of the best shots in Arizona, a man who detests crime, and
whom criminals fear, a man who has done his part to clear Southern
Arizona of that element which dominated it for years. Sherifl
McGee is the son of Benjamin F. and Margaret Button McGee,
both of whom are well known residents of Florence. His wife was
formerly Miss Mary Harris. They have two daughters, Mildred
and Florence. He is a 32nd degree Mason, a member of the Elks
and Moose, and a man of whom Final County may well be proud.
THOMAS E. PULLIAM, Sheriff of Coconino County, was born at
Fort Smith, Arkansas, in 1861, where he received his early training,
education and business experience. It was at an early age he departed
from the home circle, and began the battle of life unaided. His gen-
ial good humor and ability to
make the best of every situation
in life has saved him the hu-
mility of defeat in many a hard
fought battle. Mr. Pulliam
came to Flagstaff from Los An-
geles in the spring of 1889, and
it was but a short time before
he found himself surrounded by
a host of newly made, but
staurch friends, who have ever
stood him in good stead politi-
cally, as w r ell as socially. In
1896 he was elected by a large
majority to the office of Re-
corder of the County, and by
reason of good service, courte-
ous treatment, and unfailing
good nature to those with w r hom
he came in contact, he was re-
elected in 1898. At the close
of his second term, as a further

to the important office of Sheriff. His fearless and conscientious dis-
position, together with his experience as Deputy Sheriff, are assur-
ances that he will fill the office with credit, both to himself and the
new State of Arizona. Mr. Pulliam is a member of the Masonic

SYLVESTER PERALTA, Sheriff of Apache County is one of the besi
known peace officers in Arizona, and one of the oldest in the service.
He is now serving his fourth term. He was first elected in 1902 b\
a large majority, conducted the office in a most creditable mannei,
and at the end of the
two years returned to
private life. When
two years had elapsed,
he was urged to accept
another term and after
he had served his sec-
ond term, was elected
by the largest majority
ever received by any
candidate for the of-
fice. As a peace of f i
cer he is fair, but fear-
less, and has taken
man}- a bad man since
first elected. He uses
care in the selection of
his deputies and his
under sheriff, and
they, too, have made
excellent records. He
has, in fact, proven a
very efficient officer in
the capacity of sheriff
and the people of
Apache County have
shown the most marked
appreciation of the exceptional service rendered the county by him.
Sheriff Peralta was born in New Mexico and came to Arizona when
but a child with his parents, Patricio and Juanita Candelaria Peralta.
His father was a prominent cattleman in New Mexico, but shortly
after removing to Arizona disposed of his cattle business and devoted
his efforts to the rearing of sheep, and in this line Sheriff Peralta is
now actively interested. Having practically grown up in the environ-
ment of the sheep industry, he is rightfully reckoned a well informed
man on the subject, and having been a resident of the state since he
was three years of age, he is truly a typical Arizonan. Not only in
Apache County, but throughout the state, Sheriff Peralta is well
known and well liked. He married Miss Clara Chaves, member of a
well known and prominent Arizona family, and they have an inter-
esting family composed of four children, Beatrice, Christina, Sophia
and Adela.

FRANK JOSEPH TAYLOR, Deputy Sheriff of Santa Cruz County,
has, during his short term of office, established a reputation through-
out the state for ability and effi-
ciency. He has assisted Sheriff
McKnight in the capture of the
International Shoplifters, not only
aiding in the securing of evidence,
but also in the making of arrests
and recovery of the property. He
is the son of J. R. and Eliza M.
Taylor, and was born in Los An-
geles in 1885. His father was a
well known mining man. Frank
Taylor received his education in
the public schools, which course
was supplemented by a business
college education, and for several
years he was employed as stenog-
rapher and railroad clerk, during
which time he acquired knowledge
which has proven valuable to him
since in public office. He obtained
the nomination in Santa Cruz for
County Recorder, and was defeat-
ed at the polls by but a few votes.
After Sheriff McKnight assumed
his office he appointed Mr. Tay-
lor Deputy Sheriff, a selection
which has proven most satisfactory
to the voters of the County. Mr.
Taylor was married December 26,
1912, to Miss Ethel Armita^e,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H.
Armitage, of Benson, Arizona. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor have estab-

FRANK P. FAIRCHILD, Deputy Sheriff under Thomas E. Pulliam,
was born in El Paso, Texas, in 1884, and came to Coconino County
at the age of two years. His father, Fletcher Fairchild, was Sheriff
of Coconino, having been elected to the position because of the record
he- had made as Deputy. He was one of the best officers who ever
filled the position, and captured a gang of rustlers single handed, and
lead in the capture of several other gangs while in office. He made
a record as an officer in Texas and New Mexico. Frank P. Fairchild
